Period

Used between the 1940s and the 1990s.

Canada

This elevation drawing is one of the earliest diesel electric switchers manufactured and used in Canada. There were a total of 103 S-2 delivered to Canadian railway operations from 1940-1950. The drawings are important in so far as drawing room practice changed in the diesel electric period as erecting cards such as these were no longer produced by manufacturers. Ce dessin en élévation est celui d'une des premières locomotives de manoeuvre diesel-électrique produit et utilisé au Canada. Il y avait un total de 103 modèles S-2 envoyé aux opérations ferroviaires canadienne entre 1940 et 1950. Ces dessins sont importants étant donné que les pratiques de dessins lors de cette période ont évolué et les plans de montages n'étaient plus produits par le manufacturier.
