Baldwin DT-6-6-2000

The Baldwin DT-6-6-2000, also written DT6-6-2000, was a twin-engined diesel-electric transfer switcher built by Baldwin Locomotive Works between 1946 and 1950. A single prototype with two eight-cylinder naturally aspirated 608NA engines was built in 1946 for the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway, and 45 more followed in 1948 to 1950 with six-cylinder turbocharged 606SC engines. The Elgin, Joliet and Eastern bought 27 of the 46. Between 1956 and 1962 most were rebuilt, some with Baldwin 606A engines and the rest by EMD with 567C engines. All were scrapped except Minneapolis, Northfield and Southern 21, preserved in operable condition at the Illinois Railway Museum.
