EMD SW7 cow and calf photos
Posted by LIRRRS3 on Thursday, November 6, 2008 7:57 AM
Hi, Does anyone have access to a photo of the MU and other connections between a EMD SW7 loco and it's calf? Also interested in photos of SW8 or SW9's as well. Thanks!

Nothing really unique about MU connections on the SW -7. Total of 4 air hoses on each corner .. one main reservoir, one actuating, one application and one for MU air sand. One 27 pin MU jumper . Add walkway chains, drop steps or platform steps and you got it covered .

At least on BRC, the TR2 (NW2) sets and TR4 (SW7) sets had a solid drawbar instead of couplers between the cow and calf.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
