Album Info:Conflicting resources have made this loco a difficult one to trace. Thanks to Rick Morgan & Mike Woodruff for helping to identify this loco (see comments on photos). No information was given on the backs of these two photos so the date is arbitrary. If anyone has more accurate information about this loco, please contact me.

SP #1011 (on loan to Pacific Electric)
Title:  SP #1011 (on loan to Pacific Electric)
Description:  A very confusing search for info has a few conflicting listings. Apparently this is an EMD SW1 built around 1939-42 and was loaned to the Pacific Electric. The very small PE to the right of the headlight identifies it as one of the loaners. Thanks to Rick Morgan (see comment below) for helping to correctly identify this loco. Mike Woodruff added a touch of Hollywood in his comment below with the cars possibly being moved for the movie "three for Bedroom C". Interesting idea. Thanks to both Rick & Mike for their help. It only took the RRPA crash and 12 years to correct this listing!
