Did D&H have any run thru agreements that would have caused their SD45s to stray from home? I've gotten my hands on some Kato SD45s and Atlas/Kato RS-11s in D&H. I'd like to know if there were any interesting run thru agreements that would allow me to keep these or if they need to just be stripped and repainted or possibly sold as is.
The 3 D&H SD-45's were traded to the EL for 3 U-Boats (U-33-C's). When EL had money problems,the trade reversed. Then instead of repainting the entire engine,they painted the maroon stripe blue. It was a nice looking scheme. I'd like to do 1 someday.
The above is interesting and all, but, I asked for info on the possibility of Run-Thru agreements that D&H might have had with other roads where power was pooled and "Run-through" so that the D&H power would have been seen on other lines. Rock Island had agreements with SP, EL & NYC. ATSF had them with NYC & PC. SP with B&O, L&N, & N&W. Did D&H have pooled power agreements with any other roads during the time when they owned the SD45's?
