The former MP SW-1200 is now on the Crab Orchard & Egyptian Railroad in Marion, IL.Ê#1136 and #1147 were delivered to the CO&E September, 1986 still in full MP paint.

The original MoPac marker lights are still on the CO&E units.Ê#1147 also still retained its markers while on the CO&E.ÊThe CO&E had originally thought about renumbering the #1136 to #13, #1147 to #14, and #1161 to #16 (eliminating the first and last digits of the original numbers) but they decided against this practice before they started painting the units. The CO&E had also thought about painting them in the same scheme as the 35 ton Davenport.ÊBlack with white lettering and trim.Ê |

The company now owns an ex-MP SW1200 #1268, shown here in her current dress. 6/6/01 - John L. Cockle photo |
