Reportedly (sources), according to Strapac's great SP Compendium series, SP 3151 was built in March 1966 as SP 7802, SP Class AF630-1, construction number 3439-03. It was downgraded to switcher status, becoming SP 3151, SP Class AS630-1, in June 1973. It was retired in Dec. 1982 and eventually scrapped.
