USAX 1674 (GE 80-Ton) in Letterkenny A.D.

Name	Type	Comments	Date

Tim Moriarty	General	During a visit in September 1996 the local rail crew said they added the B to the number because they thought all locomotives were supposed to have a B prefix on the number. Previously they had two MRS1s (the ones donated to the Hagerstown Roundhouse Museum and later scrapped on site) which were numbered B2044 and B2052. The B indicated the locomotive was equipped with a boiler for providing steam heat to passenger cars. The crew was unaware of this and they continue to slap a B onto locomotives that arrive at the depot.	2/7/2013 1:51:47 PM
