In 1954 EMD introduced its successor to the SW-900, the 1,200 horsepower SW-1200. These two switchers were nearly identical. The only difference is that the SW-1200 had five battery box louvers, while the SW-900 had six. Plus the SW-1200, unlike its predecessor, had Flexicoil trucks, MU capability, and an extended-range fuel tank. In 1976 Conrail inherited its fleet of SW-1200's from the Reading Company--which ordered full length handrails along the long hood for its units--Erie Lackawanna, and Penn Central.These repaint rosters are my attempt to discover how long a predecessor ran in its original paint scheme and when Conrail painted it blue for the first time. All dates listed are the earliest and latest the unit was seen in that paint scheme. Dates often change as new photos are examined. If I know for certain that a date is the absolute earliest or latest, then I mention this in the notes. This is a constant work in progress aimed at helping those of us who model the transition era get our consists looking reasonably accurate for blue, stenciled, and original paint scheme ratios.
