Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
This modern freight motor was built for Conway's CH&D and delivered in December 1928.  It passed to the C&LE and was used pretty exclusively on the Northwestern freight line.  All freight was abandoned in June 1938, and this motor apparently never found another buyer.  The Standard trucks -- and likely the motors -- probably came from old passenger interurban cars.  So we have  fairly modern car, probably overshadowed by the 15 motors that followed it and the Red Devils, toiling away on an obscure assignment for about a decade before retirement.
