Thanks!
Interesting that they gave it the number 1001.
Unreal condition for a 45 year old engine. I was watching it switch this morning, close up at a grade crossing. It looks perfect even from 15 feet away. Sounds great also. The RR is obviously proud of it.
It's an EMD SW1001. This unit was originally South Carolina Public Railways (SCPR) #1001 built in April 1975. The Railway changed its name to Palmetto Railways in 2013.
What type of diesel is this? Is this an SW- something?

This is my second winter in Charleston, and this engine, based at the waterfront yard nearby, is the cleanest, most immaculate active locomotive I have ever seen! I pass there often, and I have never seen the engine ever look less than 100% perfect.
Still in training.
