GM43 Clyde Engineering, GM12-class

According to good sources GM 43 entered service in March 1967. It is a C-C covered wagon with a roots blown 567 prime mover. The first GM units were A1A-A1A. The GM units after GM 12 were C-C units, kind of like late SD18s in an E-unit body. I guess if they had been made in the US they might have been called F18s? I like to think of the A1A-A1A versions of these as EMD's PAs.
Yes, that is a Leslie S5 on the nose! According to Mark Carter, "GM42 entered service on Feb. 27, 1967 and GM43 entered service on March 23, 1967. A bit of trivia is that GM42 and GM43 were the only two of the class to operate on broad gauge (5'3") - from late 1992 to mid -1995."
