The early slugs (I thought they were B21, B22 and B25 - there were three
- - not T20 and T21) worked the Marion area and had companion Alco
switchers. I've only seen the 419 mated with the B65. The "B" stood for
"Booster."

All the slugs were scrapped many moons ago. Of the "early" slugs, the
B25 lasted the longest - I think it made it to 1970, if memory serves
me. To the best of my knowledge, the B66 never worked Marion but rather
served Croxton nearly its entire life. The B65 bounced around, starting
off in Marion, then moving to Port Jervis, and eventually was stored
dead with sister B66 at Croxton.
