There are now more than fifty (50) BOXCAB pages;
see the main Boxcabs page and the Boxcabs INDEX.

This page is unindexed, except for a linked
photo index, itself a continuation of the index on
the previous (main photo) page; scroll away;
there is also
now
a roof detail photo index.

ROSTER OF SURVIVING ALCo-GE-INGERSOLL-RAND
BOXCAB OIL-ELECTRIC (DIESEL) LOCOMOTIVES[in no particular order (yet) but eventually to be in order built]
{13 Jun 04}
In addition, roof and other details were added to the previous page.
There is similar detailed photo coverage of the original production single-engined 300HP, 60-ton, AGEIR boxcab, CNJ #1000 at the B&O RR Museum in Baltimore.

Berliner, III, AND of the Feather River Rail Society or the Portola Railroad Museum.
The 60-ton, 300-hp CNJ #1000 at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, is the very first production diesel locomotive and the Long Island Rail Road's (now-scrapped) 100-ton, 600-hp, #401 was the very first diesel road switcher, the first production locomotive to haul a revenue train over a long distance on a Class 1 main line [the LIRR later got a second 100-tonner #402 (2nd), to which the later #110-1 was very similar, as was The Red River Lumber Co. #502]. After GE and ALCo parted company, GE built several 100-tonners, one of which was for Foley Bros., built under GE Builder #11047 and completed during October 1929.
The #110-1 survives at the
Portola Railroad Museum in Portola, California,
'way up over Donner Pass in the High Sierras, near Lake
Tahoe, Nevada. The Museum is operated by the
Feather River Rail Society, a group primarily
devoted to the Western Pacific RR.
Foley Bros. #110-1 is the only surviving 100-ton (nominal - actually 108-ton) oil-electric boxcab!
Now, at long last, here are the remaining 13 photos I
took (except for the roof picture taken for me from the
cab roof of the adjoining switcher by a staffer) in
Portola on 13 Aug 98.
Because there are so many photos and they are so big,
here is a linked index, with captions, from the
preceding (main photo) page and this page:

I also did not want to cut down on the resolution or have pop-up ads, so these and the CNJ #1000 detail photos are costing me dearly in storage space and money! You'd BETTER enjoy all this, which took me yet another day to scan and load!
- I got
my conventions WRONG on many of the old photos;
the front of the loco is the "F1" end and the rear (where
the brakestand is located) is the "2" end, so the
"right" side is the "A" side or right looking from "2"
to "F1" and the "left" side is the "B" side or left
looking from "2" to "F1"; supposedly, I relabeled all
the erroneous captions (where have you heard THAT
before?).

I had stopped at a hardware store near Portola (not
realizing how big a town Portola would turn out to be!)
and bought a folding rule and pair of yardsticks, one
of which I cut up with my penknife (you could carry
them on an airplane, then!) into 12" segments, to give
scale to my detailed photos:

That's it; this is that third California roll from 13 Aug 98.

BIG NEWS! - While in California for my younger daughter's wedding, I drove the 260 miles out to Portola from my daughter's place in San Carlos on 04 May 2004 and got a fairly complete set of pictures of the roof details, especially of the transverse blown radiators; on 16 May 2004, I scanned them in and they are on the preceding page.
I'll have to look at (and to scan in) that I-R manual and see if I can identify some of the details about which I am unsure.
If you catch me out in any errors (quite likely); please let me know.
Each survivor has, or will have, its own separate page on this site.
Assuming possible duplications are wrong, there are at least 8 ALCo-GE-IR (and just GE-IR) boxcab units surviving and, if they are all right, there are at least 7 units surviving.
In addition there are three (3) Baldwin-Westinghouse ARMCO units and CNR #77 and CP #7000.

There are now more than fifty (50) BOXCAB pages;
see the main Boxcabs page and the Boxcabs INDEX.

I deliberately have NOT included this page of
detailed photos of Foley Bros. #110-1 in this tour;
they are so image-intensive that you should only
have come here intentionally.
