Dan- what years are we talking about? The T&OC came under the NYC umbrella in 1922...

I have my Grandpa's time books, he was an engineer from 1915-1963 out of Corning Ohio on the T&OC. After the diesels arrived the switching and mine runs were handled almost exclusively by SW7's numbering 8700-8900 series. The road freights were almost always F7's due to them being dynamic brake equipped. I can dig them out and post some unit numbers for everyone as examples if you like.
