| | GE Dan Patch #100 Survivor Boxcab Page |
 | | The demo unit, #8835, and survivor Dan Patch #100 have a lot in common and even look vaguely alike at first glance (especially in being "single-ended" with a narrow nose and a flat rear); I have attempted to highlight the similarities and differences herein. |
 | | Oh, I almost forgot; the Dan Patch and her sisters did not have the classic, roof-mounted, curved, fin-tube, convection radiators that were a trade mark of the first production ALCo-GE-IR units, and Dan Patch #100 has a door on the left front, which NONE of the ALCo-GE-IR units had. |
 | | It turns out that Dan Patch #100 originally had BOTH ends of the locomotive looking like the current FRONT {which makes perfect sense when you read John Campbell's account of #8835 - the original GE Rail Motor Car units were made by the Wason Car Company with both ends rounded}. |
