Nostalgia & History > looking for B & O #2 switcher info

Identified as SC2, no date or info given.

Would like any info on unit. Could have been EMC DS-2E for B &O CT

Thanks

My brother, Ken the data man, says this is an SW, just SW. Records say it was sublettered
for B&OCT, though I don't see such. It was built 11-30-36, b/n 653, by EMC. Re # to 199
in 1942. Up grades in 4-55 to a SWm. Re # to 8422 in 1957. Traded in 12-70. You have a
VERY old shot there, and for a roster shot collector, rare.

There was a discussion on the yahoo B&O group http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Baltimore_and_Ohio/message/16678
on this picture from the rrfallen flag site: http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/bo/bo2amm.jpg

It is an EMC SW built in 1936 with a 600hp engine as mentioned before, apparently bought to serve one of the Sears warehouses in Chicago area.It was transferred to Buffalo NY in 1952, rebuilt with a EMD 567 800hp engine and higher hood in 1955.

Paint scheme is apparently standard EMC demonstrator scheme of the time, exact colors are a mystery.
