Hmm....a 44 ton?

Yes

Here's a link to another post about that unit from last year. My guess is a 44 Ton (maybe 45) Rail Pictures.net refers to it as a 44 Ton

Must be a popular unit, cause I even found a place selling T-shirts with it on the shirt, wow ? https://fineartamerica.com/featured/mansfield-switcher-rob-richardson.html?product=adult-tshirt

Can't be a 44-tonner because of the end walkways. Looks to me like a WWII-era 65-ton (or maybe 80-ton if it has the thicker deck plate). Notice the stacks mid-hood, suggesting it's been repowered. I believe this was done to a variety of military units. 
I know it's very common to call all GE centercabs "44-tonners," but it's really much more complicated than that.

GE 65T locomotive, a favorite of industrials since the 50's.
