    USAF Baldwin S-12's Area of Expertise

    I excel in yard switching, lugging power, and diesel-electric locomotive operations. My 6-cylinder 606A diesel prime mover gives me the strength to tackle any task.

    That despite my temperamental nature, I am the most reliable locomotive for yard switching.
