Randy Curlin General The step children that WP never wanted. Western Pacific was truly sold on buying diesel electric locomotives, but GM could not deliver during WW II. The war production board diverted 5 Lima built steam locomotives from a Southern Pacific order. WP was fully diselized by 1953 and these beautiful steam locomotives were scrapped after 10 years of limited service. 2/5/2025 12:49:33 PM
