Eastern Railroad Discussion > Shortline Switcher Sunday.Date: 12/02/12 20:08 Shortline Switcher Sunday. Author: alco539 Out running around the PA. countryside today I ran across five different swichers at three different locations, and here they are...
Swtcher #1: ex-Northern Illinois & Wisconsin SW1500 operating on the Penn Eastern Rail Lines. Boyertown,PA. Swicher #2: ex-PB&NE SW900m operating on the East Penn Railroad. Topton,PA. Switcher #3: ex-Reading SW1500 operating on the Reading & Northern Railroad. Date: 12/02/12 20:24 Re: Shortline Switcher Sunday. Author: alco539 Switcher #4: is my favorite Reading & Northern engine (even though it hasn't ran in about four or five years.) being a former resident of Indianapolis,IN. this locomotive is an ex-Indianapolis Union Belt Railway SW1500 and started out life as one of the EMD demonstrators. Hopefully this engine will end up somewhere safe.
Switcher #5: is the most interesting beacause it has no number, no sign of it's history, all I can say from the looks of it, it's a SW1200. Anyone who has information on this unit or has a good guess chime in. Thanks, Sean. Date: 12/03/12 04:51 Re: Shortline Switcher Sunday.

Neat collection of oldie moldie switchers. Note: The NIWX is on the Eastern Berks Gateway Railroad run by US Rail Partners Inc. No longer Penn Eastern. Thanks for the post. Gonut Date: 12/03/12 17:57 Re: Shortline Switcher Sunday. Author: alco539 Thanks for the Update, I didn't know US Rial took that over.
SEAN Date: 12/03/12 19:16 Re: Shortline Switcher Sunday. Author: SD45X That last one looks like a SW-7. Have to add more notes to my Gazetter.
