The S Class was a development of the B Class, which was a development of the EMD F-units using a three axle (Co-Co) bogies rather the EMD 2 axle (B-B).
B72 was withdrawn in 1986 following a fire, after travelling over 3.3m miles. An extensive restoration saw her eventually move under her own power in 2023.
