Steve Young General Since it only has one stack, and has BL15 stencilled on the cab, it's clearly not an SW1200 any more. This photo depicts this locomotive's second rebuild. The first was done by Chrome Crankshaft, along with its sister #50, and involved replacing the 567 prime mover with a 645. Brookville subsequently rebuilt it with a 1500hp CAT, hence the BL15 designation. Contrary to the assertions on postings of SPAX 50 on this site, like SPAX 50 it's not an RL1500, and has never been near Republic Locomotive. 4/2/2019 4:33:07 AM
