Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Infobox locomotive The EMD SW1000 is a model of 4-axle diesel switcher locomotives built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between June 1966 and October 1972. Power was provided by an EMD 645E 8-cylinder engine which generated Шаблон:Convert. This locomotive was built on the same common frame as the EMD SW1500, giving it an overall length of Шаблон:Convert.[1] Over one-third of SW1000 production went to the Burlington Northern Railroad.[1]

History

The SW1000 was taller than previous EMD switchers, which posed a problem for industrial customers: at many facilities, tight clearances existed, and the SW1000 exceeded them. As a result, most production went to railroads, not industries. EMD corrected this problem with the SW1001, which was an SW1000 with its height and walkways lowered for better clearance.[1]

A total of 114 EMD SW1000s were built for railroads and industrial operations in the United States. One was exported to Jamaica for a mining operation and four were exported to industrial operators in Mexico.

As at January 2014, two EMD SW1000s are operated by Via Rail at its Montreal Maintenance Centre.[2]

Preservation

Around August 2022, the Oregon Rail Heritage Center acquired former BNSF SW1000 #3613 (former BN #388).[3]
