All diesel engine data is usually from The Diesel Shop with inclusions from Wikipedia where the information on The Diesel Shop was spotty. Former Maine Central Locomotives are checked against Maine Central Diesel Locomotives Revised Edition by Edwin B. Robertson.
This engine is a bit odd because the trucks still use the 5' wheel base but the frame is shortened leaving the end of the truck exposed and necessitating mounting the couplers to the trucks.
