Terry,

  For some reason that link didn't work, but you can find the roster quickly by googleing EJ&E Roster.

 Thanks for the ID. I guess I was long gone when these were in use. I worked for the J in 1966. Anyone know what switcher models were in use then? How about #303?

 

Thanks,

 Lionelsoni nailed it, this is what the EJ&E roster had to saw about unit #444.

 Can anyone tell me what model engine this is, and does anyone make a model of this engine? I would like to get one custome painted. I used to work for this rail road.

Thanks
