Title:
NYC SW1 618
Description:
NYC SW1 618, Chicago, Illinois, May 9, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Admittedly a bad photo, but it's all I have. The NYC had two SW1's numbered 618, the first was built in 1942. This one has a single taper from the hood to the cab, rectangular cab windows, and a twin sealed beam headlight, indicating that it is a late model (Phase II) SW1. That being the case, this locomotive was built in June 1950 (c/n 11785) on EMD Order 6116, was renumbered NYC 8444, then became PC 8444, and later became CR 8444. It was traded to EMD.
