The Alco HH300 were built as 12 in 1937 and 14 in 1938 (there was no 13), renumbered to 712 and 714. The builder's photo has been published - they look like a smaller HH series. They were both running in 1979, and may have lasted until the end. The last new locomotive built for this division was a GE in 1970, though three more GE engines were transferred in around 1985.

The master mechanic for this division must have gone crazy - he had diesel engines by Winton later Superior in the boxcabs, McIntosh & Seymour in the Alcos, at least four different Caterpillars, some Cooper-Bessemer EN-6, some 4 and 6 wheel switchers with who knows what, and a variety of railcars, plus maybe a B-B gas-electric by Davenport.
The 805 was built as the #50 and was always on the other Chiriqui Land Company lines alternately known as the Northern Division, Bocas Railroad, Almirante Railroad, Changuinola Railroad or Atlantic/Caribbean division - that ended up being renamed the Bocas Fruit Company. It had as much of a varied and ecclectic roster, and was an older operation that was originally steam powered. When this division ceased rail operations circa 2004-2007 it truly was the end of an era as it was, to the best of my knowledge, the last banana plantation railroad in the world and United Fruit's last rail operation. One of the companies that was merged to form United Fruit was founded by a railroad builder, so they had an extremely long rail history. Six diesels survived the end of operations - four bought by RDC for their CDN operation in Mozambique (two regauged and should be in operation, other two held out of service) plus the two to Oregon. #805 just needs lots of money and time.
Had someone been in the right place at the right time with a pocketful of money, they could have had a veritable railroad museum of 36" gauge diesels - the HH300, boxcabs and GE 32 tons were all models unique to Chiriqui Land Company..
