Nostalgia & History > Mystery End Cab SwitcherDate: 05/04/15 14:44 Mystery End Cab Switcher Author: CrudPunko I just finished a scan job for a friend that included this unit wearing IH 44. It's at East Moline IL and was date stamped July 1981. Photo by Hugh Blaney.
The writing on the slide was a bit hard to read so I don't know if the locaiton is East Moline or simply Moline. Can anyone ID this unit and who it belongs to?
