Description

Railroad Short Name: CB&Q

Prototype Information

An EMD SW1000 is a 4 axle diesel switcher locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between June 1966 and October 1972. Power was provided by an EMD 645E 8-cylinder engine which generated 1,000 horsepower. This locomotive was built on the same common frame as the EMD SW1500, giving it an overall length of 44 feet 8 inches. Over one-third of SW1000 production went to the Burlington Northern Railroad.

The SW1000 was taller than previous EMD switchers, which posed a problem for industrial customers: at many facilities, tight clearances existed, and the SW1000 exceeded them. As a result, most production went to railroads, not industries.

114 EMD SW1000 units were built for railroads and industrial operations in the United States.

CB&Q Features:

  • Dual winterization windows
  • Fire cracker antenna
  • Early style cut levers

The CB&Q purchased their first group of SW1000’s in 1966. Their CB&Q career was short lived since they all became part of the Burlington Northern fleet after the 1970 merger of the CB&Q, GN, NP and SP&S.
