The innards and hood are the new SW1000. The cab and frame are similar to the older SW1200. (See sixaxlecentury's post below this one.) Reason is clearance in industrial situations such as steel mills. The newer SW1000 did not fit in those clearance situations. Original buyers of the SW1001 are almost entirely steel mills and steel railroads. Due to mergers, many are now on major railroads, particularly CXX and NW.

Cab and frame are NOT the same as an SW1200.  The frame sits lower on the trucks (look at the front pilot - it sits higher) and the cab is longer.  

1001's really have nothing in common with anything, except mechanically with an SW1000.
