US Army 65-ton locomotives at the Picatinny Arsenal in 1948. The diesel-electrics were less dangerous around explosives than the steam locomotives they replaced.

The GE 65-ton switcher is a diesel-electric locomotive built by General Electric. It has a B-B wheel arrangement, with models producing 400–550 horsepower.

The 65-ton is an upgraded GE 44-ton with a heavier frame and a more powerful diesel engine.
