Heritage information from Eric's Railserve Locomotive Rosters page, with additional information from the Unofficial EMD Homepage and the IC All-time Locomotive Rosters. Some info isn't clear because the histories for the DT&I 960 conflict after it left the ICG roster. |

Funded by a grant from the Texas Emissions Reduction Program (TERP)? |
