Nostalgia & History > EMD 105 ??Date: 04/22/17 17:03 EMD 105 ?? Author: MartyBernard I posted a photo of EMD 105 at https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?11,4277684 and called it a SW7. Now I find out from the Diesel Shop roster that it was DH2, a SW8 modified as Diesel-Hydraulic.

I don't believe it is a DH drive at this time in its life.
