After taking my wife to the Indianapolis Airport last winter, I noticed this pair of locomotives shifting hopper cars around at an IPALCO {Indianapolis Power & Light Co} generating plant.

Looks like an old 42 Tonner?

Got it! G.E. 65 ton switcher built in the 50's with two Cummins 6-cylinder engines producing 210 HP each. However, these may have been built later and by the number of springs in the truck, it may be an 80 tonner. RFB.

Thanks for that clarification Railfan. It's nice to see it still being used. There's an old 40 tonner with connecting rods sitting, no longer in use, not too far from where I live. I posted some pics of it some time ago.
