This loco was built in 6/1954 with EMD serial number 19560. She was built as a passenger engine with a boiler in the nose. She was setup with dual control stands for operation in either direction, thus she had wings on the front and rear. She was painted in standard for the time black widow colors and featured Pyle oscilating dish signal lights on both ends.

At some point during the 1960s, she was repainted into the bloody nose paint scheme.

She was assigned number SP 3009 in the 1965 system renumbering.

She entered the GRIP program and emerged as SP 3192 in 12/1977.
