I guess this should be called a car mover rather than a true switcher. I wonder if the cement dust has caused any internal wear and tear or corrosion?

I'll have to visit this museum some day.

[QUOTE:] "The Illinois Railway Museum has acquired a 25-ton diesel-electric locomotive built in 1942 by General Electric. The engine was built for Lone Star Cement and worked in cement plant service for its entire 78-year service life, most recently at a facility in Elkhart, Indiana." "The locomotive is designed for low-speed switching service and is rated at 150 horsepower."
