Switchers of Roanoke - 3

Another addition to the VMT's collection of rare switchers is this GE SL-144. From a company known far more for its classic-era 44-tonners, it represents one of GE's last non-road-diesels, having been built in 1976.

 

Information on this unit is scarce, but the builder's plate info would seem to indicate that it was once actually a demo unit from GE before its AEP service. This unit is a "ghost" of sorts - not appearing on museum's website - so it is difficult to say much more about it.
