This powered SW1500 locomotive is painted black with white lettering and white reflectors on sides and ends. It has safety yellow end rails and black side rails. The EMD SW1500 was a 1,500 hp (1,119 kW) diesel locomotive intended for switching service and was built by General Motors’ Electro-Motive Division. The SW1500 featured a bulkier car body and was a bit heavier from earlier models although its intended use remained the same, working light branch lines or in industrial settings.
