EMD SW-1

Just about time to have it trucked out, and claim "salvage rights" on it, under maritime law..........

Go for it. Then perhaps we can do the same for the units in Albany...

Makes me think of that Johnny Cash song .... "I got it one piece at a time .... and it didn't cost me a dime ...."

The oldest known surviving Lehigh Valley engine is a SW1.
LV 112, built in 1939.

here is a recent photo of 112:

thanks GA!
yeah, I do need to move that bell..
I havent done it yet because moving the bell will require that I also change the grills! which I should also do..

I will get to it! eventually...

Scotty, that colorized shot is one of the coolest things I've seen on here! Do you do requests via pm?

Back in 1984 I was up at the Amtrak station in Troy, NY. While hanging out there there was a black, Amtrak SW-1, switching coaches. It was neat watching it scoot back and forth past the platforms, making its unique six cylinder sound.
