The FM H-12-46 was a light
road switcher of
Fairbanks-Morse design manufactured exclusively by the
Canadian Locomotive Company from October, 1951–January, 1953 for the
Canadian National Railway . Only thirty of the 1,200 hp, six-cylinder
opposed piston engine
locomotives were produced. The units (assigned #7600–#7629) were configured in an
A1A-A1A wheel arrangement, mounted atop a pair of three-axle
trucks .
Externally, they boasted many of the same
Raymond Loewy design influences found on the larger and more powerful
FM H-16-66 model, some of which were built during the same period. None of the units are known to exist today.
