GE E33
Built in 1956-57 by the General Electric company for the Virginian Railway's electrified lines, the GE E33 locomotive was primarily used to move coal from the mines to industrial locations. As a 3300-horsepower locomotive, it was well suited to traverse mountainous terrain. After Norfolk & Western acquired the Virginian Railway in 1960, it's twelve GE E33 locomotives were sold and resold to a number of US railroads where they continued their long careers.
