More little motors...
Southern Pacific SW900 1170 at West Oakland on October 4, 1974. This looks like the Homestead to me. Does anybody know the track number here?
Reportedly (
sources) SW900 SP 1170 was built in April 1954 as SP 4624, Class DF-305. Serial number 19526, order number 4273. It was changed to Class DS-305 in 1963. It's second number was assigned in the 1965 renumbering as SP 1170, SP Class ES409-1. It was rebuilt on December 12, 1974 when it became SP 1198, SP Class ES409E-1. It was retired in Dec. 1986, sold to Levin Metals in Oct. 1987 and scrapped in late 1988.
Information, stories, suggestions, comments and/or constructive corrections are appreciated.
