2024年1月15日 · An EMD SW9 is a diesel switcher locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between November 1950 and December 1953. Additional SW9s were built by General Motors Diesel in Ontario Canada from December 1950 to March 1953. Power was provided by an EMD 567B 12-cylinder engine, producing 1,200 horsepower (895 kW).

2024年12月20日 · EMD stepped up the weight on the SW9, back to 124 tons, which was the same as the SW7. The model used General Motors' model D37 traction motors and could produce a respectable 43,000 pounds of continuous tractive effort, and 62,000 pounds of starting effort, for a locomotive of its small size.

PRR 8523, ES-12M, 1954 : Description: Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Fred Kern that was taken in Camden, New Jersey, on 5 December 1954. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8523 and #8540. Both are ES-12M switchers built by GM-EMD in December of 1952 and rated at 1,200 horsepower each. ("Tchowee"; #27 of 36)

SW9. The SW9 was the successor to the SW7 model, and was purchased by both PRR and NYC. NYC's were numbered 8911-9001 and kept their NYC numbers, while PRRs were numbered in groups throughout the 9000's and 9100's.

2 back-to-back SW9s, starts with 2 gons, 2 tanks, a box-tank-box threesome, ends with 2 gons, and as the RR god meant it to be, a caboose. I'm not sure how the big box of "all" fits in. This 1200 hp EMD switcher was built in 1952 and still looks sharp 4 years later when caught by Joseph McCormack as it sits in the Gardenville (Buffalo, NY) yard.

Rick took slides of the Pennsy in Richmond, IN in August 1967. Unfortunately the slides incurred water damage in a basement flood. I was able to save these 5 and make them presentable. 1. PRR ALCo C-425s 2418 and 2417. 2. No, Rick was not photographing another steam fan trip. This is just PRR GP9 7039 doing its thing. 3. PRR GP30 2247 and GP9 7238.
