I stumble across this picture below...
Anyone can tell me what it is?*

*Ok Ok
I know it is a GE 44 ton centercab phase Ia or Ib.
So do not try to answer this...

I ask for serial number, history, how it come to J. Neils, what happen after J. Neils...?

It is nowhere to find in my extensive library and also not mentioned in Jeff Moore
listings available somewhere in the internet.

:-)
