Last of the Lima; Whitewater Valley Railroad

Taken on two different days in October of 2009 we catch the last operating Lima diesel locomotive in the world doing the honors for the Whitewater Valley Railroad out of Connersville, Indiana. #25, a 750hp switcher, was built in 1951 for Cincinnati Union Terminal and survives to this day 60 miles northwest of it's original home.
ENJOY!

Are there even any other Lima Diesels that survive? And what kind of horn is #25 blowing?

Yuck! E-bells and Lima diesels don't mix at 4:42.

Lovely old diesel there; nearly thought she was an Alco unit from the engine sound!
