Steam Generator Equiped Geeps And RS's

greenspun.com : LUSENET : ACL and SAL Railroads Historical Society : One Thread

I would like to know which SAL non-pasenger diesel units (i.e. GP7's, RSC 2's, etc.) were equipped with steam generators. I can not seem to find this information in any of my references for the SAL, except for a select few photos which showed one or two units that were indeed steam generator equipped. Can any one be of assistance? Thanks.

The following SAL units were delivered with steam generators. Other units may have had them applied in later years or the original units may have had theirs removed. But-this is what was delivered.

Mr. Toad! Let me go home to Pooh corners and dig up my copy of Warren Calloway's book on Seaboard power. I think that you will find that more units had them than you suspect. Remember the SDP-35 s all had them-theyw ere joint use engines. I will get back to you tomorrow( if I dont forget-a fifties type of thing).
