32'-3", and rode on AAR type B trucks.

SAL 1466-1475
make up the roster of Seaboard's Baldwin RS-12, 1200-horsepower light road
switchers. Like the shorter S-12, they have a long hood that houses
a 6-cylinder 606A prime mover. The tall, short hood originally housed
a steam generator. Six were built in 1952 and four in the following year.
They were renumbered in the SCL merger as 207-216, but only 1471 (212)
and 1474 (215) retained their steam generators by that time.
