Title:
CRI&P S12 759
Description:
CRI&P S12 759 at 47th Street, Chicago, Illinois, March 28, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in 1953 as Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton demonstrator 1201 (c/n 75936), this locomotive was built in the the middle of S12 production, which began in June 1950. In an attempt to turn around declining switcher sales, BLH built two S12 demonstrators and sent them to the DM&IR, but no sale came from the Missabe Road. In July 1953, both demonstrators were sold to the Rock Island, becoming CRI&P 758 and 759. The S12 production ended in August 1956, with a total of 452 units built in six years.
