Georgetown Loop Railroad - 130 diesel locomotive (General Electric 52-ton U6B) (22771719335)
This is a 52-ton, end-cab, narrow-gauge, road-style switcher engine on display at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, Colorado, USA. It was built in the 1950s by General Electric and used in Plaster City, California as U.S. Gypsum # 1303 (www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2384121). From 1992 to 2004, the unit was used by the Georgetown Loop Railroad in Colorado as # 130. The engine was acquired by the museum in 2004.
The engine model is a General Electric 52-ton U6B, but it is slightly different from true U6B units. It has been jokingly referred to as a "U5.9B".
"GB&L" is lettered on the cab below the roster number - that stands for the Georgetown, Breckenridge & Leadville Railroad.Relevante Bilder
