IC SW1R 13
Title:  IC SW1R 13
Description:  Illinois Central SW1R 13 was parked at MAYS YARD, just west of New Orleans. The locomotive had been built in June 1946 as IC 9027, and was renumbered 612 in October 1953. The railroad extensively rebuilt the locomotive in October 1968, replacing its 6-cylinder 600-horsepower prime mover with an 8-cylinder 1,000-horsepower one, and renumbered it 13. Its new hood extended all the way to its front steps, but it still had the space between its battery box and its rear steps. The 13 was to be the prototype for the rebuilding of the IC's entire fleet of SW1's, which would have been renumbered 1-17; but it was the only one done. Despite its unique status it remained on the railroad for 20 years. It spent its later life in New Orleans, and was retired in 1988
