When did railroads start using diesel engine block heaters?

The Penn Central leaves most of its locos outside at Kings Port where there is a small engine house but not enough room for all of the power. Just a little bit of silliness if you click on the photo/video below. [Image: th_001-13.jpg]

The GP9 with the partial NYC lettering is an old rubber band drive unit I bought at a flea market for $5.00. The rubber bands were dried out so the motor runs w/o moving the loco. Kind of fun to sit it in place at the engine yard and let it rumble. I'll probably make a dummy out of it later. Cool NYC hearalds on the noses and magnetic couplers made it worth buying to me.
