Koppel Bulk Terminal operated in the port of Long Beach for years, and it later became AGREX. (After AGREX ceased operations, this facility was operated by Metropolitan Stevedore, which became Metro Ports.) In the 1970s, In 1967, KBT acquired this unnumbered Whitcomb side-rod 45-ton critter, built in September 1945. While painted in gray and red, this diminutive diesel was never owned by the Southern Pacific - it was, rather, a former US Navy locomotive, numbered 65-00316, which served the nearby Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station. This little diesel is now part of the collection of the Pacific Southwest Railroad Museum in Campo, east of San Diego, CA.
