Fairbanks-Morse H-24-66, dubbed the Train Master, was known for its substantial carbody. At 2,400 hp, the Train Master was the highest-horsepower road switcher on the market when introduced in 1953. No. 6301 was one of five Train Masters rostered by the Southern Railway.

This Train Master No. 6301, built in 1955, has unfortunately not survived to this day…
Sure would be nice to hear one “crank it up” again, thanks for the photo.
