While returning to take pics of the SD20-2 I bumped into I took some of what i thought was a GE 45 toner. I thought it because of the side rods. When I got closer I noticed it was actually a Whitcomb loco which I never heard of. The best I can find is that it might be a 50 toner?

Great pics!
Going by the length I'd say a 50 tonner isn't far off.
Looks like it's on display, but seeing that tanker in the background, could be on live rail?
Also looks like a real short cabover in one of the shots!
 


Hmm, theres no air hose meaning that it probably can't be used to shove too many cars. Now that I mention it, it doesn't seem to have an air tank.... How does it stop? That tank looks like a fuel tank.

If that is the fuel tank it sure is awful small. I would think those two engines would use quite a bit of fuel
 
If that's the air tank, then where's the fuel tank? It doesn't look like they can fit anything on there that's larger than that little tank.
 
not sure but it looks like it could be right above that round tank. Between the tank and the cab floorboard, but without seeing it in person there's no way of knowing.
