No hiding NOVA 2450's heritage with those original boards. Built for the Southern Pacific, 2450 is the first of SP's & SSW's fleet of 240 SW1500's and has faired very well since being built by EMD almost 60+ years ago. Today, 2450 is at LDS getting its usual routine inspection. The refinery produces 1.8 billion pounds of ethylene per year and another two billion pounds of related products, so the speed limit is probably a good idea. Ethylene has a number of uses in the chemical industry (think of the many uses of ethylene glycol) and is a key component in products used in agriculture to hasten the ripening of fruit.
