In fact, it didn't had the rod and the cab design and stack were more like a GE-44. Does that means GE had to design for their 45-tonner? St. Lawrence Cement had one with rounded cab corners and integrated stack... Probably a bash project if I want it.

Perhaps the 45 Tonner you mention really is a 44 tonner with an extra ton added on (or maybe the other way around). In fact, I was under the impression that the 44 tonner existed to defeat rules that required a fireman to be present in a locomotive greater than 44 tons in weight.
I sometimes wonder if these short little GE industrial switchers ever had a "real" designation, since they sold multiple locomotives of the same weight class, but different designs.
