Crab Orchard & Egyptian Railroad SW1200 Twin Pack
Starting production in 1954, the Electrro-Motive Division, or EMD, SW1200 Series were a versatile high horsepower locomotive and was the last switcher to use the 567C Prime Mover. The 12 Cylinder Diesel engine could generate 1200 Horsepower and was ideal for the large rail yards they operated in. Over 1000 were built between 1954 and 1966.
​
Two of these units would make their way to the Crab Orchard & Egyptian Railroad in Marion, Illinois. the two were purchased from the Missouri Pacific Railroad in 1987 to help with the growing traffic and hopefully lighten the load off the CO&E's Sole Motive Power, a Canadian Built 2-8-0 No. 17.
​
Today the two SW1200s sill operate on the Crab Orchard & Egyptian Railroad, which is now under the ownership of the Progressive Rail Corporation. While CO&E SW1200 No. 1161 is under the ownership of the CO&E, her sister, No. 1136 was later sold to the near-by city of Herrim, Illinois.
