EMD SW1500
EMD SW1500
The EMD SW1500 was intended for working light branch lines or in industrial settings. With the horsepower rating, weight, and top speed similar to those of the GP7 released a decade prior, it offered all capabilities of a road switcher. Many Class I railroads purchased the model, with the Southern Pacific alone buying more than 200 units. Today, many railroads all across North America still utilize the SW1500 for yard and switching duties.
