Model Railroading > HH660 Switches The Ballast PlantDate: 02/05/19 17:33 HH660 Switches The Ballast Plant Author: dlh One of the large industries on the Sierra Northern is Elysian Rock. They ship out enough material to warrant their own switcher, an Alco HH660 #601 leased from Relco.

I once had pics and the data sheet on that very locomotive from the elevator employees. Pics I once had were taken with permission. Im not sure if I can dig those up.
