There was so much cool stuff running around back then! I missed a lot of it because I was too focused on main line action. I wonder if those AS16's are ex-MP? The big number boards hint at it.

Looking thru my X2200S collection and bouncing it off of Gary Dolzall's Diesels from Eddystone, you are correct.  USP&F 43-45 were all ex STLB&M/MP. /StLB&M/MP 4327 Re Nmbrd to MP 936 to USP&F 43 then to Peabody  343; 4330 to MP 939 then USP&F 44 to Peabody, same number; 4331 to MP 940 to USP&F 45 then to Peabody 45. Peabody acquired them in 1972.. Ben
