EMD SW1 ARR 1203 blt 1943 B/N 1990, former USA 7001.
In service with ARR 1947 retired in 1957 and scrapped. Photographer
unknown. Photo shows loco after retirement (notice the missing brake
beams on the rear truck and hanging brakes on front truck) setting under
the bluf at Government Hill in the Anchorage Yard. Note the
ARR lettering instead of the "Alaska Railroad" on other locos of the time.
This is the only photo of #1203 I have seen.
