SSW 825

Bob Dengler photo - Santa Clara, CA - November 1978

 

This loco was built in 10/1957 with EMD serial number 24080. 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 3646 in the 1965 system renumbering.

She entered the GRIP program and emerged as SSW 3809 in 3/1975. 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.
