Starting A GE 70 Tonner.

Most likely suspect? http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/372302

Yep, that's the culprit.

In July 1961, the F&C got a contract to haul crushed rock from the quarry on their line in Paris to the site where Interstate Highway 75 was under construction about 1 mile east of Georgetown. To handle the additional traffic, Pinsly sent two M&B (MPB) GE 70 tonners (Nos. 20 and 21) along with a fleet of about 45 ex-B&M 55-ton capacity twin hoppers to handle the new service. About a month after the "Rock Train" service started, MPB 21 was sent to Pinsly's Greenville & Northern Railway (GRN) and Pinsly then sent MPB 22 to replace that one. Wasn't unusual for the Pinsly Company to shuffle locomotives from one short line to another.

The "Rock Train" service lasted only about 90 days because the limestone rock didn't meet specifications and after that, the hoppers were sold for scrap and MPB 22 wound up going to Pinsly's new St. Johnsbury & Lamoille County Railroad (SJLC). MPB 20 remained on the property until the 70 tonners were replaced by the heavier ALCo S-2 and S-4 locomotives in the early 1970's.

One interesting note; after Pinlsy began replacing all the GE's with ALCo's, they still sent another GE 70 tonner to Frankfort which was SJLC 51. It was relettered and numbered as F & C Railroad 105, but didn't remain on the property for very long. FCIN 105 wound up working for a scrap dealer in Chicago, IL.
