Posted by Loren Aandahl on April 18, 2013  There is no Clinchport, Tenn. How about Kingsport?? Posted by Loren Aandahl on April 19, 2013  I did not post the prior comment. The question I asked was who is the manufacturer GAIA? Posted by Alejandro Goldemberg on April 19, 2013  Hi Loren, GAIA means "GRUPPO AZIENDE ITALIANE e ARGENTINE". It was a joint venture to produce this type of loc. between 1963 and 1970. The whole production was 280 locs, the first group of 140 was delivered with FIAT 288 engine ( 1050hp) and the second group with the same 288 engine but twin turbocharged ( 1350hp). Several units like this one were re-engined with ALCo 251B prime mover Posted by Loren Aandahl on May 4, 2013  Thank you Alejandro for the background information on GAIA.
