Description |
This black and white photograph of Boston & Maine Railroad's #1118, a ElectroMotive Division of General Motors (EMD) SW1, is an engineer's 3/4 front view of the locomotive. The paint scheme is black with the red and white strips in the front with Boston and Maine spelled out on the side. There is Boston & Maine's "Minute Man" herald on the side of the cab, below the window. The SW1s were primarily used for switching cars at the many yards on the B&M System. This is an official EMD photo and was taken in LaGrange, Illinois sometime in April of 1949. This is a brand new locomotive and the photograph was taken shortly before delivery to the Boston & Maine Railroad. |
