Marty, Shot 6 is one of the rarer ones of this model. An EMD Built unit. 1 of 13 built by EMD I seem to recall. All the others of the model, were ALCO's.  Thanks for sharing these shots.  You know if the Chapter has any shots of NAVY Units at SPCC Mechanicsburg Pa? Went by here lots of times growing up, but never stopped to get any shots. Saw nothing but Baldwins there for the longeset time, then they went to GE Critters.  Thanks for sharing the series.  Ben

The photo you asked about.  When I fine, scan and post it I'll know.

This was a cool series, so many different types of locos.  The Heber Valley railroad used to use a MRL-1 like the one in photo #6, but it's been retired and is now part of a boxcar hotel in Mt Pleasant, UT as noted by paniolo_man - https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,5901237,5901367#msg-5901367
