Eastern Railroad Discussion > CPR SWs?Date: 02/08/01 13:50 CPR SWs? Author: JPB I was in Binghamton, NY and I snapped this picture of a CPR GP9/SW switcher set. There are 2 sets like this at Binghamton Conklin Yd. What type of SW is this, and how many SWs does CPR have? Also saw D&H Lightning Stripe #7304 but i couldn't get a good picture of it. It was hooked up to 2 GP9s.
