| Description: |
SP SW8 1125 at San Diego, California on February 11, 1984, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in July 1953 as SP SW8 4620 (c/n 18355) on EMD Order 4179, class ES408-3, it was renumbered to 1125 during SP's 1965 renumbering program. Note the dynamic brake option located in front of the cab. This was one of 20 SW8's so equipped on the SP (original road #'s, 4604-4623, re# 1109-1128). The original plan was to use these locomotives on the Northwestern Pacific, but they were quickly replaced by SD7's. They were re-assigned to the Pacific Electric and SD&AE, and this unit was at work on the latter when photographed. |

SP SW8 1125 and SD&EA SW8 1126 at San Diego, California on February 11, 1984, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Unfortunately, I left my clutter filter at home. Both units are/were SP SW8's equipped with dynamic brakes for use on the Northwestern Pacific. They were quickly replaced by SD7's, these two units were re-assigned to the SD&AE. |
