Can anyone tell me of Milw SW1's that still survive? One comes into mind. It's in service on the Ballard Terminal in Seattle. Others?

:D

Andy-

Some of my own information from a web site:

EMD SW-1 #52 Seattle & North Coast RR Port Angeles switcher (Ex- MILW 869; nee 956; nee 1619). After its use on the SNCT, the #52 saw use during the brief operation of the Olympic Railroad. The locomotive was stored in the Seattle area in late 1997 where it was used in some local television station commercials. This locomotive was acquired by the Ballard Terminal Railroad and refurbished in May of 1998. Ballard Terminal operates several miles of ex-Northern Pacific trackage in the industrial area adjoining the ship canal that links Puget Sound with Lakes Union and Washington. The unit is now numbered 98 and is painted in the red, black, and silver colors of Seattle's Ballard High School. Photos of this unit have appeared in several railfan publications.
