 * I wanted to help you improve your article on Wabash_Alloys_Locomotive


 * I am [name removed], a volunteer and member of the CBRHS. One of my projects was helping repair this unit to operating condition.  At the museum we started calling it the 'blue goose'.  It was last known to be operated in 2007 at the museum.  It should still be basically operable, but it's not been run in years.  These are links to Youtube videos of when it was running, please feel free to post them to the page and also you are free to grab a screen capture to use as it's image.  Next time I am down at the museum I would be glad to send real stills of it. (at the time I had a video camera, but no still camera)

 * I too am a little surprised that it lists 'class 1 railroads' as users-or that implies axle loading was a concern. I am fairly certain 'cheap!' was the main motivation for a unit like this.

The locomotive newsmagazine Extra 2200 South did a feature story on GE 20/23/25 Ton industrial switchers. The two articles on these units appear in issues #78 and #79 which corresponds to the January-March 1983 and April=June 1983 issues. According to the articles the Wabash Alloys Locomotive is a GE 25 Ton End Cab Square End or Square Nose. This type of 25 Ton GE is called a Phase II (2) There were three sub phases of these 25 Ton units built by GE between December 1941 and November 1944. These are Phase IIb, IIc and IId. These three subphases comprise 110 units. --SSW9389 18:15, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
