This rebuilt end-cab switcher has been assigned to Los Angeles for quite a few years. Although I havent seen it used in a couple years, back in 2010 when I took this shoot it was running quite a bit.

THIS PHOTO SERIES WAS TAKEN THROUGH A METROLINK CAR-WINDOW. THE RESULTS AREN'T TOO BAD CONSIDERING.

Amtrak/NRE SW10 rebuild #795, which began life as an SW1200, works the coach yard in Amtrak's 8th Street Yard, while watched by Los Angeles' version of the Sears Tower. Originally built for the Milwaukee Road, the unit went to the SOO, and then was rebuilt into an SW10 by NRE as part of a 1994 order. It was refurbished again by CEECO in 2005.
