While on vacation, we stopped in Hill City, S.D., to ride the Hill City Train. Besides the steam engines and a high hood Gp, they have a Whitcomb, 80 ton center cab diesel on the roster. One of the employees told me it runs good, and is used for moving cars around the yard during the offseason, when the GP and steamers are mothballed for the winter.
This is only the second Whitcomb centercab I know of, that still operates on any kind of regular basis. The other one is on a tourist line in Pa.
