Summary

Description
English: Columbus and Greenville Railroad Roundhouse - Columbus, MS

The transition to diesel-electric power begun in 1945 represented the first time the Mississippi shortline was able to buy brand new locomotives. The railroad turned to the Baldwin company in Philadelphia and ordered five 1500 HP road switcher units with six wheels on each truck to help distribute the weight over the pitiful track. This order was Baldwin's first diesel order in the United States.

These locomotives served CAGY well for forty years, remaining in service until the 1980s.

CAGY 601 and 606 are the only two survivors. 606 is on display at the Illinois State Railroad Museum in Union, IL and 601 is shown here on permanent display in Columbus, MS.
