Great photo of a unique locomotive!.

I think this engine ended up in the city of Puebla museum. Her sister 2107 is in the Mexicali museum after sufering a mayor derailment in Aug 27 1984.

Did they ever use the steam generator? Sure did! I was on an SBC train from Mexicali to Benjamin Hill in 1978; 11 cars behind a GP40P. At Benjamin Hill, our train was joined with one from Nogales; the power farther south was an M636 and a U36CG. Got off the train at Sufragio to connect with the Ch-P and found a GP28 sitting in the yard. Great railfanning, n
