Sort of an odd looking creature.  It can't be of much use  for road duty with that short fuel tank unless they want to refuel quite often, or at least that's what I would suspect.  You didn't need a big tank on it as an SW1500.  I think the fuel capacity on the NS F-units is also a problem.

Nice catch.

It's purpose was for use as a remote controled yard switcher.

Tom;

Great catch! I do find it interesting that the locomotive ID sticker claims it to be an 'SW1500E'.

Regards,
Russ
