[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 744223, member: 10543"] These were Baldwin DT-6-6-2000s and the EJ&E was by far the largest buyer of them at 26 units. The "J" was a good Baldwin customer and found them well suited for lugging heavy steel mill tonnage, as well as road switching. After a decade of service, the J decided to remove the less-than-satisfactory Baldwin [COLOR=#202122][FONT=sans-serif]606SC engines and replace them with EMD 567s. The flared perimeter around the base of the hoods you can see was added during the rebuilds, as the 567 was a wider engine and needed a hood with greater space.
