SSW 824
This loco was built in 10/1957 with EMD builder's number 24079. She was built as a freight engine. She was painted in black widow colors and featured a full set of sealed beam, gyralight and red UDE light on each end in a similar fashion to Pacific Lines freight GP9's.
She was assigned number SSW 3645 in the 1965 system renumbering.
She entered the GRIP program and emerged as SSW 3810 in 6/1975. It is not known at this time when she was repainted into the gray and red "bloody nose" paint scheme, but if she entered the GRIP program without it, she definitely emerged in the new scheme.
