Built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division in January 1953 as an SW9 for use on the Montour Railroad and the Youngstown & Southern Railroad. Later owned by Inland Steel and numbered 135. It was later rebuilt with a 645E prime mover and is now known as an SW1000R. Amtrak eventually acquired it and numbered it 793.
