On lease to the shortline SWP Railroad that has had a pickup in business. Acquired by the Wheeling and Lake Erie in 1997 and rebuilt to a GP35-3 in May 2010. Built as DRGW 3045 in January 1965. Seen at the SWP home station in Scottdale, Pa. Currently the SWP has six locomotives available for use, not counting its partnership with sister railroad AVR. This has the name W.J. Holtman on the hood. He was president of the Denver Rio Grande and Western Railroad in the 1980's. Many former executives from the DRGW are now on the W&LE. Also before this was painted last year it still had Rio Grande on the side. |
