List of Lima-Hamilton diesel locomotives

Last updated

The following is a list of Lima-Hamilton locomotives built between 1949 and 1951. Lima-Hamilton never gave its locomotives model numbers in the ordinary sense. L-H only used specification numbers for its diesel models. Model designations such as LS-750 or LT-2500 were a railfan invention.
