Nostalgia & History > Do You Like SW1s Also

For what ever reason, SW1s are my favorite switcher. Maybe it's because they were easy to identify for a young railfan (and for an old railfan too!).  Those tool box looking things across the front and back were a dead giveaway.Oh, and of course, the single stack. 
Anyhow, here is CB&Q 9140 in the Aurora, IL coach yard next to the roundhouse on June 20, 1965.  She was built in 1939.

Enjoy,
