<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Generally one large locomotive per month, although
they did slightly better during WWII. But they could build two S1a switchers per
month, as one S1a was about half of a Y6b. Of course they were overhauling
other locomotives while all this was going on, so that probably had some
influence on shop capacity. But the rate at which the boiler shop could make new
boilers was probably the limiting factor. Jim
