This might come across as a dumb question, but 40 years after the fact my memory is dim. I was a kid hanging around the New York New Haven and Hartford Shoreline branch in Connecticut. The NH ran a daily way freight (God, I hope no present employee get fired over this) and I actually talked my way on board the locomotive while he did his switching in my home town. I remember it as having an NH deep orange/red nose with a handbrake wheel set in the middle of the high nose. The whistle cord (I got to blow it) dangled from the roof. I don't remember much else about it except it wasn't particularly noisy or smoky (my only comparison being E units the NH ran by at 40 miles an hour on the lead of THE PATRIOT) and that it had external brake cylinders that pushed rods that activated the brake shoes. This would have been circa 1967 or 68, right before the PC takeover. My question is, was that locomotive an ALCO road switcher? I think the cab ceiling MIGHT have been rounded, not angular... <br /> <br />Thanks!
