Reportedly (sources), according to Strapac's great SP Compendium series, Century 630 SP 3152 was built by ALCo in April 1966 as SP 7808, SP Class AF630-1, construction number 3439-09. It was downgraded to switcher status, becoming SP 3152, SP Class AS630-1, in July 1973. It was retired in June 1979 and scrapped.

Information, stories, suggestions, comments and/or constructive corrections are appreciated.
