EJ&E 704 (BLW DT-6-6-2000) sits alongside SD9 602 on an unknown evening, 1966

The DT-6-6-2000 was Baldwin's offering for a diesel electric transfer switcher, initially powered by dual 606SC prime movers. This locomotive was mostly used by the EJ&E with them purchasing 27 of the 46 total built. These locomotives endured various rebuilds throughout their life with most being repowered with 567C prime movers. All but one have been scrapped with the remaining example preserved by the Illinois Railway Museum.

So many cool and interesting Baldwin locomotives from the early diesel years. They were the most successful steam locomotive builder in the world for the first half of the 20th century, but their diesels never gained traction in the market.

Yeah, it's sad how Baldwin, and then eventually Alco fell off. Two of the big names in Steam that just couldn't find a place in the diesel era. Also, don't worry about the double-post, it's just more Fediverse growing pains!
