I was looking over The Diesel Shop's GE production rosters out of curiosity and came across two locomotives listed as delivered to LI.
23/25ts
>7767 U.S. Army - Mitchell Field Garden City, Long Island, NY 18198 .
>? U.S. Navy - Naval Torpedo Station 4 Montauk Point, Long Island, NY 15707 . 7/1942
I'm interested in both - did Mitchell Field, during WW2, have a system beyond a spur requiring a 25t locomotive? How late was this retained? For the latter, i'm curious at the news the Montauk Naval Station operated a switcher for the same reasons
