Hello all! New member here looking for any insight or info on the maker of this small locomotive. It was used by Bay Area Rapid Transit to move cars around their yard and has long since been replaced by modern hirailers. I know it runs off a diesel caterpillar engine with a chain drive. I think it may have been manufactured in the 1960s but many coats of paint cover any info plates on the body. I have scoured the internets for anything similar but have come up surprisingly empty handed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
