Both the GE 70 ton and the Porter 75/85 ton use the same Cooper-Bessemer FWL-6T engine at 600 HP (Porter used Westinghouse electrical).
GE did build 3(?) 70 tons for US Potash in Carlsbad, NM on 36" C+C articulated trucks. These were all long ago scrapped for parts by Birmingham Rail & Locomotive. I think a bunch went to export (50 to Brazil?) also.
