Mike Woodruff General The 1189 is an SW1200, nee-TRRA 1237 (30007, 4/65). The 1240 is an SW9, ex-P&LE 1240, nee-P&LE 8955 (16333, 9/52). 5/29/2014 2:52:19 PM
Mark Carron General Both of these locomotives (1189:2 and 1240) are probably still at the Granite City Works (Hence GCW) of United States Steel. A picture by Mark Mautner of 1189:2 appeared in Trains Magazine about a year and a half ago when production at the Granite City Works was restarted. Please remove these photos from this site. Also, the roster on the TrainWeb site is probably not correct, since it too contains these locomotives in their Garden City Western roster. The Diesel Shop site should have the correct roster for the Garden City Western. 5/17/2021 12:39:09 PM
Mark Carron General UPDATE: I checked with my railfan friend Mark Mautner of the St. Louis area and he assures me that these two locomotives are still at Granite City Steel. They never have been on the Garden City Western!! 5/20/2021 3:28:01 PM
