PRR EMD SW 7 (PRR Class ES12) 9373 [Built 1950] in 1966 in Anderson
Marvin Crim Collection.

 

Same loco about 35 years later: http://s3.amazonaws.com/rrpa_photos/68754/BL 11 4 01.JPG
Subsequently in much worse condition: https://farm9.static.flickr.com/8100/8593182305_bff3b37e9f_b.jpg

 

Apparently being cannibalized for parts...sad.

 

Did they just attach those "spark arrestors" on the SBRR incarnation with rubber bands?

Still, a testament to EMD that it was in service 50+ years before obviously serious damage ended its career. .
