The GE 44-ton switcher is a 4-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Electric between 1940 and 1956. It was designed for industrial and light switching duties, often replacing steam locomotives that had previously been assigned these chores. This locomotive's specific 44-short ton weight was directly related to one of the efficiencies the new diesel locomotives offered compared to their steam counterparts: reduced labour intensity.

@RailfanEthan thanks for the pic!
I'll get started after I complete my latest project.
Here's a model

@RailfanEthan just to be sure I'm building the right train, can you send me a link to a picture of it?
Well, no rush, but take a look at Wabash's F7a (Road number: 625)
I'm a train lover AND THIS IS AWSOME
