As I understand it, this was a specific type of loco. They were originally intended to be shipped over to the USSR (hence "Little Joe" - Josef Stalin) but never made it for political reasons, at least, that's the story I heard. The Illinois Railway Museum has one of these locos and if you search through the online issues of their in-house magazine (Rail and Wire) they have an article about repainting it with a little history. Hope this is of some help!
