Information researched by Greg
Degowski: According to Jerry Pinkepank in his 1/62
Trains article "Crossing the Jordan", ML-1 ("Motor
Locomotive") was a Plymouth "painted bright orange with black zebra
stripes and sporting a big bell, an air-operated steam whistle, and
vibrating a tall cast-iron stack with what was surely an unmuffled
exhaust of her 175-horsepower engine, in a sound which resembled five
mainline freighters in the eighth notch." The 10/77
Railroad EJ&S roster noted that ML-1 was a Plymouth ML-6
Type 2 with 15,000 lbs. traction effort, 60,000 lbs weight and built in
1937 for Phoenix Engineering of unknown location, sold to EJ&S in 1961
(?), sold to Hyman-Michaels (?) in 10/61, then sold to an unnamed sand
and gravel company at an unknown date.
