Built by the trio, Alco, GE & Ingersoll-Rand in February of 1926, this was the first twin engine oil-electric locomotive built. It had a length of 40 ft, a 36" wheel diameter, and produced 600 hp total from its twin engines. Later it was rebuilt with transverse forced-draft fanradiators. The unit was retired & sold for scrap on 6/7/51 to Luria Brothers Iron & Metal Works. For more information, check out (http://sbiii.com/boxcabs1.html).
