Title:  CRI&P S12 759
Description:  CRI&P S12 759 at 47th Street, Chicago, Illinois, March 28, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in 1953 as Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton demonstrator 1201 (c/n 75936), this locomotive was built in the the middle of S12 production, which began in June 1950. In an attempt to turn around declining switcher sales, BLH built two S12 demonstrators and sent them to the DM&IR, but no sale came from the Missabe Road. In July 1953, both demonstrators were sold to the Rock Island, becoming CRI&P 758 and 759. The S12 production ended in August 1956, with a total of 452 units built in six years.

C&NW S12 1076
Title:  C&NW S12 1076
Description:  C&NW S12 1076 at Proviso, Illinois on February 14, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built July 1951, (c/n 75067), it was repowered by the C&NW with an EMD 567 prime mover during 1966, retaining the original Baldwin hood, retired July 12, 1977.

The model S-12 was the sucessor to the DS-4-4-1000. Production ran from mid-1950 to 1956. By 1955, B-L-H began the phase-out of diesel-electric production. During this period the supply of Westinghouse electrical gear for the switcher line became depleted, forcing Eddystone to begin using General Electric main generators and traction motors. Between the time in 1953 that Westinghouse began contemplating its discontinuance of railroad electrical equipment and the time B-L-H decided to go out of the diesel-electric business, a new, 6-inch longer frame was designed to accommodate the GE gear. The frame was also modified so that the end steps and pilots could be built separately and bolted on rather than welded. By 1956 the end was at hand and with the departure of Erie Mining Co. S-12 403 (October, 1956) after its use in testing the New Haven RP-210s, the book was closed. With the erecting halls shut down, the final tally of the S-series switchers could be made. There had been 63 S-8 switchers sold to 16 customers in a production run of three years, nine months. In six years and one month of S-12 deliveries, 452 units had been delivered to 48 original customers.

KCS S12 1161
Title:  KCS S12 1161
Description:  Kansas City Southern S12 1161 at Kansas City, Kansas on August 15, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 1161 was built in April 1951 (c/n 75055), one of four Baldwin S12's delivered to the KCS (#'s 1160-1163). It has Milwaukee Road transfer caboose 01747 in tow, explained in comments to another photo of this situation: Jeff Carlson commented on 2/7/2012 8:18:37 AM; Interesting. Regarding the KCS-MILW combo, the two of them share Knoche Yard in KC, referring to it as the "Joint Agency." This agreement continues today with the KCS and CP (ICE). Chris Guss commented on 2/7/2012 6:32:13 PM; Knoche's Joint Agency term is just that. The locals based out of there use a mixture of crews and equipment on all jobs based in the terminal. Just like the equipment in your photo is mixed, the crew on board is also a mixture of KCS and MILW crewmembers.
