Keep in mind this is not an electric-only slug - it is a "B" unit diesel-electric locomotive, intended to be half of a cow & calf switcher set. An SW13B built by EMD in 2/1940 (!) for original owner IC. I checked my photo data and my earliest pictures of RaiLink painted unit 1200 are in April 1998, while the last are from March 2000.
