Today's Milwaukee newspaper had an obituary for rail historian John Campbell and a citation to his website, which features early GE/ALCO/Ingersoll Rand boxcab diesels.
Since there is no telling how long the site will be maintained, here is the cite and you may want to visit and copy the parts that interest you

Dave, thanks for the link to the site. Mr. Campbell was a walking encyclopedia for those of us in Wisconsin, he will be greatly missed. My condolences go to his family.
