Or some sort of low rated F-M unit. Good catch whatever it is.

Gees, I can't place it. It looks familiar, but I forget who made it. It is NOT Alco or F-M, though, or any of the big builders.

What intrigues me more, are those teensy little four-wheel thins attached to eigher end. They're not articulated to it, so they're not pony trucks, they're too short for spacers, there's no point in having a walk-over car right next to the locomotive, so what the hell are those?

Its a 100ton Davenport endcab, built new as Inland Steel #83; its 36-inch gauge and was sold after Inland, to USS South Works and re# 127; later to USS Gary Works 127
