I grew up in the era in the hard coal mining region of Pa.. Although steam continued in small pockets until '56, most of the roads in this region were quick to go diesel. Lots of F3's and F7's, lots of GP7's and GP9's, from EMD of course. Lots of RS2's and RS3's, and some FA1's from ALCO. Of course Fairbanks Morse and Baldwin made entries with various models from the era, AS16's VO1000's, etc from Baldwin and H16's and H24's from Fairbanks Morse. See if you can get a copy of the First Diesel Spotters Guide. Of course there were other oddities, like SW8's with dynamic brakes on the LV. You really cant go wrong with any model from the era regardless of builder, they tried them all.
