Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic DRS-6-6-15 road-switcher No. 201 stands with a bulkhead flatcar of pulpwood, a major commodity in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The South Shore had 4 of the 82 six-motor, 1,500-horsepower units that Baldwin Locomotive Works built between 1948 and 1950.

Let’s note that today, there are at least two examples known of these road switchers preserved: McCloud River Railroad #29 (preserved as Magma Arizona #10) at the Arizona Railway Museum in Chandler and Southern Pacific #5208 preserved in its original colors and number at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento.
