GE EF-4 Little Joe
EF-4/800 class electric locomotive built by General Electric in the United States, starting in 1948. Originally ordered by the Soviet Ministry of Railways, they were unable to be delivered due to a US State Department ban on the export of strategic goods to the Soviet Union. Instead, three were sold to the South Shore Line, where they were known as 800s. Five were exported to the Companhia Paulista de Estradas de Ferro in Brazil. The remaining 12 were sold to the Milwaukee Road, where they were used in both passenger and freight operations and were given the name ‘Little Joe Stalins’ or ‘Little Joes’ for short.

Notes: In real life, the locomotive weighs about 247 tons. Due to the way the game calculates vehicle costs, this would make it nearly triple the price of almost any other electric locomotive in the game. 217 keeps it an expensive option but not prohibitive. If absolute realism is a must, you can always change the weight in the script file. Realistic years of availability would be 1948-1950, which would restrict it to early start games, not to mention an annoyingly short opportunity to purchase.
Tips are always appreciated but by no means expected! [paypal.com]
