Hello Bob,

Yes, SWs were equipped with sand boxes. There are two hatches at the rear of the cab on either side of the door and a hatch on each side of the hood at the headlight end. You can see these hatches in a drawing on page 45 of Cyclopedia Vol. 2: Diesel Locomotives (Kalmbach).

Happy holidays to you and yours as well,

SW900/1200 question
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, December 25, 2002 9:52 AM
Does anyone know if the EMD SW900/1200 locos were equipped with sand boxes and if so where were they located? I have tried to find prototype pictures or drawings but have not been able to find any.Are there any available? I would like to be able to see
some for use as a reference guide.
I would also like to wish everyone on this forum a Merry Christmas and to say thanks for all the help and ideas I have gotten. It is greatly appreciated. Bob
