What kind of EMC switcher is this? There’s a picture in January 1965 Trains and it doesn’t look close to any EMC/EMD switcher I’ve ever seen. Caption identifies it as EMC’s first 900 HP switcher.

Would that make it a NC1? I think that’s the only model I’ve never seen a photograph of.

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out almost immediately after posting. It’s a Model 90 if anyone is curious (a model number I’ve never even seen until tonight to the best of my knowledge).

Wonder what happened to her.

This unit was built as a demonstrator, and the exact model number is unknown, as it wasn’t duplicated. (Sort of like the two Pre-SC units built for DL&W). The unit weighed about 90 tons when built, and so this is likely where the “model number” came from.
