NYC FM H-12-44 #9115 - New York Central
Title:  NYC FM H-12-44 #9115 - New York Central
Description:  Interesting Christmas card (circa early 1950's) displaying the shiny Fairbanks-Morse H-12-44 #9115 in an unidenitifed location. The 1200 hp FM unit was built in 1951 and was classified as des-17a. Then in 1966 it was reclassified as fs12m and renumbered 8304. A year later in 1967, it along with several others in the class were sold to GE, most likely as trade-ins for GE units. Can anyone identify this location?
