The Red Springs and Northern group is looking at a Baldwin Lima Hamilton industrial locomotive. It's a two axle diesel hydraulic, with chain drive from the transmission to the axles. Looks kind of like a Plymouth, but I think larger. No model or s/n on the builder's plate, mut the date is 1953, and the "Construction Number" is 40750. I don't find anything on the BLH websites I've look at. Can anyone give me a clue??

(Hey, I know it's off topic a little, but the thing is on live rail with a CSX interchange so it sorta fits).
