According to http://www.atsfrr.com/resources/CrossetGene/ATSF_all-time%20diesel%20roster/ 81L was built in Jan. 1953 as E1B #2B. She then became #2A:2 She was rebuilt to E8Am on Dec. 4, 1952 and renumbered 81L in Feb. 1953 with SRW [silver/red/white?] paint and no Indian-head logo on her side. She retired [date unknown] and went to EMD for the GP38 series. |
