The nice H0 Atlas HH660 is close to the HH600 used by IC since 1934. That is within the timespan of my (so far) steam only project.
My question is about the use of the HH600 (Road numbers 9006 - 9013) at the IC. Did they do switching in dense industrial areas only or did do also some light road service pulling local freight trains? I assume they have not been used for heavy switching e.g. in classification yards.
I would like to use them with short (six cars plus cab) local freight trains to serve the fictional small town of my layout. The town is far to small to get it's own switcher. The engine of the local had to do the switching en route.

Update
Case closed. The IC HH600s were used for light switching in the Chicago area only.
