Links PDF of the Secretaria de Comunicaciones y Obras Publicas diesel roster. SCOP is secretaria de comunicasiones y obras publicas Description This is a five-page detailed roster. This is an incomplete project but still useful. This project began by compiling a roster distilled from Baja California Railways by   John A. Kirchner. This was then compared to the  Alco  builder's list found on this blog and the primary EMD papers cited below in the Bibliography. Those provided accurate builder's dates (actually the shipping dates that all builders use as the builder date) and order numbers.

  The Canadian Locomotive Company of Kingston, Ontario, began as the Ontario Foundry in 1848. When it started building locomotives in 1854, it became known as the Kingston Locomotive Works but completed fewer than 36 locomotives before being forced into bankruptcy in 1860. It was reorganized as the Canadian Engine & Machine Company, Ltd., in 1865, but the Depression of 1878-1879 plunged the company back into bankruptcy, only to re-emerge as the Canadian Locomotive & Engine Company, Ltd., in February 1878. Another reorganization happened in April 1881, and the plant was modernized and expanded. The investment syndicate that owned the Canadian Pacific also held substantial interest in the Canadian Locomotive & Engine Company but sold their shares to Dubbs & Company of Glasgow, Scotland, an important locomotive builder, to raise money to extend the Canadian Pacific. By January 1, 1888, Dubbs & Company gained effective control of the Canadian Locomotive & Engine Com

Georgia Railroad Diesel Roster The Georgia Railroad controlled the Atlanta & West Point and the Western Railway of Alabama . The three railroads formed a through route from Augusta, Georgia, to Montgomery, Alabama, collectively known as the Georgia Group. The Georgia Railroad was controlled jointly between the Atlantic Coast Line and the Louisville & Nashville , which ACL also controlled.

Here are links to an ongoing work in progress. This is based on the condensed rosters issued by the railroad on July 1, 1983, right after the formation of Seaboard System on January 1, 1983, and another issued on August 1, 1984, which covers several classes that were renumbered. It will also cover the joint Seaboard System/Chessie System renumbering covered in the condensed roster issued November 1, 1986, just before the formation of CSX. Part 1.
