The Railwire is not your personal army.
It depends on the railroad and the locomotive.
I can not tell at all what the MLW is in the photograph of the Canadian power.
Curious what you mean by non historic? What is the Era your road represents?
Some people use "private road name" or "free-lance", but I never liked either of those terms. I have read "non-historic" in several places and like it better than anything.The era is mid-1950s. The non-historic is still running steam, but, as its steam power is old and was beat up handling the war time traffic, it must be replaced. The freight power has been replaced, but ten wheelers and an eight wheeler are still working the passenger trains.
There are plenty of photos of New Haven passenger trains with one C-liner and one PA on them. Usually the C-liner is in the lead, I've no idea why.
These units had air throttles and MU and some with dynamic brake capability.
