    Still earning her keep! I wanna say this is an old NP switcher. Moving hoppers at Tacoma yesterday. She sounded great too!:D 20220307_141257.jpg

    Built in 1955 as Northern Pacific 126, SW1200.

    Didn't stray far from home!

    At least dozen years or so back, I caught this one, out of service. Another ex-NP AFAIK. Looking at the truck behind it, might have been swapping out for a bad traction motor. I heard a rumor it was later scrapped, but have never found proof.

    I believe it was scrapped, and shortly after they received one of the slug units from the Pasco Hump, which is still in use.
