The SW-8 #1115, (as depicted) was acquired by the Yreka Western RR in November of 1978 was issued the number 21. She currently sits on a YW siding in Montague, CA.

Her sister SW-8, (#20) formerly Ex-S.P. #4608, then #1113, was also acquired by the YW in November 1978. She sat unused for several years due to having a bad crankshaft. Then she was used for parts to keep #21 operating. The 20 was scrapped in the summer of 2010.

I have spent many hours in both 20 and 21, (mostly 21) hauling freight and even using 21 to pull the Blue Goose when the steam loco was B.O. Ahhh ... those were the good old days!
