Formerly EJ&E 222 built 1/1940. The unit was sold to Material Services Corp in 12/67. If you look closely, the front headlight number board appears to still carry 222 in it. Is it available for donation or for sale? Thanks. Don C. |

Nice, I wish our little nuseum in Sturtevant could afford this, better to let a museum with more resorces have this |

I've worked 20 hours in the past two days so I haven't had time to respond. I will forward the contact and phone number to the interested people. I was told that they have parked the locomotive and aren't using it any more but it is in running condition. I don't know anything more. If it is for sale or donation you will have to discuss that with the contact. Good luck! Steve |

2/18/2015 (Bumping old thread). So where did this SW1 end up? Asking strictly out of curiosity -- I have no interest in purchasing this unit. |

There must be something seriously wrong with it. |

Judging by the photo it has not moved from the quarry since it has been sold. Makes me speculate if it can't move. Steve |

I'm not sure. I was thinking maybe they used trucks or didn't have use for something so old? Or maybe a deal fell through to sell it? I wish I knew. |
