Nostalgia & History > Switcher Saturday MG Rail 1210 SW9 Mar 12 1985

Should have posted this picture on St Patrick's Day.
Photo made at CR's (now L&I's) Jeffersonville Yard on March 12, 1985 of MG Rail #1210 a SW9. This unit was for assignment at nearby and soon to be opened Clarksville Maritime Riverport. I understand MG stands for Merchants Grain. Also, because of the engine number, I am guessing that it was from TRRA. Would appreciate info as to exact heritage.

Don't think it's a NW-2...more like a SW-7 or 9 judging from the radiator grille and headlights...maybe even a SW-1200.
