Nostalgia & History > Switcher Sunday - CR&I 8459Date: 05/29/16 14:26 Switcher Sunday - CR&I 8459 Author: refarkas Chicago River and Indiana 8459 (EMD SW1) sits at NYC/PC Collinwood Yard in Cleveland, Ohio in the late 1960's or early 1970's. I have no idea why she was there except possibly for repairs.

My thought too...she's also missing an air reservoir on the firemans side but looks like there is one on the front deck...maybe a sideswipe victim or the conversion to roller bearings brought her here?

Look at the cab, there is a noticeable wrinkle on the bottom right and looks like the front is dented in also.
