Railpictures.ca - L. Priest Photo: Savage SVGX 7402 is 1 of 3 units sitting it out during this idle time at AltaSteel. With the stacks capped, it may be on its way to somewhere else, going for repair/maintenance or not expected to be needed for some length of time. I have little knowledge on this SW1500. A quick internet look indicates this unit has worked at a number of different industries. It does have a simple and attractive paint job. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
