Phase Ia- the "Loewy" carbody. Sloped hood ends and cab sides, half-circle cab windows, "sculpted" headlight mounting. Phase Ia2 has notches in the bottom of the side sill to clear the brake cylinders on C-Liner trucks. Phase Ib- the cab sides are vertical, the half-circle windows disappear, and the entire side sill is a bit thinner to clear the C-Liner trucks. Phase Ic- the sculpted headlight mounting disappears. Phase II- the "spartan" carbody. The hood ends are vertical, the battery boxes get louvers. Phase IIIa- the "Trainmaster" carbody, with the older radiator shutters. IIIa1 has the rectangular numberboards held in with clips, IIIa2 has oval gasketed numberboards. Phase IIIb- the newer radiator shutters, and one-height walkways all around. (I don't believe that any H-16-44s were built with low walkways at both ends like the H-24-66s for Wabash and Southern were.) |
