Topic: ALCO HH series


  
 Union Pacific ALCo, Baldwin, F-M, and Other Switchers
Included were 54 Alco S-2s, 45 Alco S-4s, six Baldwin VO 1000s, five Baldwin DS-4-4-10s, five Fairbanks-Morse H10-44s, one single Alco S-3 and a single Alco HH-1000, both of which came to UP with the purchase of the Mount Hood Railway in 1968, and finally, a single General Electric 44-ton center-cab switcher.
Retirements of the Alco switchers began in January through June 1968 when 16 S-2s were traded to EMD on UP's new order of 50 SD45s; the first to go were 1103, 1118, and 1136 in January.
These six units were renumbered to the 1200-1205 series, in their original builder serial number sequence, in May 1945, and were repainted to yellow and gray later that same year.

Several RS-27s of Chicago and North Western heritage were added in the late 1960s and 1970s, and the five final additions to the roster were Alco Century units with rebuilt electronics that were purchased used in 1980 from excess inventory after the formation of Conrail.

One of the most serious and sustained criticisms of Kabbalah is that it may lead away from monotheism, and instead promote dualism, the belief that there is a supernatural counterpart to God.
The anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion utilised Kabbalah imagery heavily and posits the existence of a secret portion of the Kabbalah contained within the Dead Sea scrolls which has been maintained through time by various individuals and a group currently known as SEELE (which, in production materials for the series, are identified with the Essenes).
The comic series Promethea by Alan Moore draws heavily on Kabbalah, and is in large part a framework for an overview and explanation of many Kabbalistic concepts.

The horns were very simple in that the only parts were the horn itself, a screw-in back cap, and either a single or multi-leaf diaphragm, making the horns consist of very few parts.
In fact, on the Tyfons that I've seen, the pin used to keep the bell from unscrewing from the base is welded in place, making the bell and base a permanent fixture.
Instead, the letters "HH", "H", "M", "L", and "LL" would be placed in front of the diaphragm material letter, indicating extra high, high, medium, low, and extra low pitch, respectively.

 M&StL Diesel Engines Page 2
It is my understanding that MandStL Diesel switch engines received their new 1956 Road Numbers as a reflection of One-tenth the horse power (HP).
It was reported in some quarters that D-539 became 92 because the MandSTL;considered the engine to be only 900hp, that it didn't put out a full 1000hp so it was downrated.
I think Louis makes a good point as to why the ALCO HH-1000 #D-539 might have been retained in the 1956 - 90's series numbering.
