It is late 1949, and a couple of shifters are working the yard.  The yard foreman told his crews not to speak too loudly around the C1, 'Big Daddy'.  He did not want the big engine to know its days are numbered.  Unfortunately, the BS10 heard about it in the shop and told the old workhorse "Hey boomer, you're gonna be scape metal soon."  Big Daddy left that day and was not seen again.

The C1 is Weaver, the Baldwin Switcher 1000 hp (VO-1000) is MTH.

Nice , I keep wanting to pick up a Weaver C1. One day!!
