Remarks & Notes

CNW SW1200 no. 1216 mates up with slug no. BU 8 to handle switching on a cool January afternoon at Cedar Lake Yard in Minneapolis. Slug BU 8 was rebuilt in October 1964 from SW1 no. 1209. CNW rebuilt a number of switchers, road switchers and F unit boosters into slugs during the 60s to increase traction effort for switching and road freights where extra horsepower was not needed.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
