The four-unit "rolling laboratory" was owned by GE and tested on/leased to Erie (in Erie colors) for more than four years.
All four units were re-engined by GE with 2000-hp, 12-cylinder powerplants and sold to UPRR in October 1959. Primary Source of information: "U-Boat" by Greg McDonnell Additional sources: Extra 2200 South and "Alco FA: Running in the Shadows" (by RCR) | |||||
