As good a locomotive as I've ever had the pleasure to fire. Very well designed for an older type. Had the nickname of "old reliable" when she was in Williams. We used to cut the diesel out when switching just to be able to work her harder...we'd have maybe 12-13 cars plus an idling diesel going up one leg of the WMS wye, FW pump going, deafening exhausts and never a slip. What a great machine.
