Where is the unit currently located? The SW-8...originally SP 4622 and currently SP 1127 is over our pit at our Milwaukie, OR location undergoing a complete restoration including minor structural repairs. The unit has had some paint removal accomplished as well as work done on the dynamic brake switch as well as replacement of the left rear corner stairwell. Other projects such as our Saturday afternoon excursion train have taken priority but the engine rebuild is planned for this winter along with reassembly of other components. She will have the twin beam Gyralites replaced as well as the indicator boards and will be painted in the gray/scarlet scheme she wore upon retirement.
