Some Southwestern Shorties – Pecos Valley Southern Railway, part 2 [Misc. RR Photo Archives]
: PVS SW900m #9
PVS once used two GE 70 tonners #s 7 and 8 for the power. Today it uses a SW900m.
PVS SW900m #9 was built in 1938 as Lehigh Valley Railroad NW1 #130. It was rebuilt to SW900 status in 1957. It later became Conrail #8657, WAMX #950, and finally became PVS #9. But it still keeps the number 8657 at the headlight-side number board.
When we visited the shop, the railway’s sole locomotive seemed under repainting, maybe to yellow and deep-blue Watco livery.

: PVS #100
PVS caboose #100, the railway’s sole caboose with friction bearing trucks, has no further information on the web.
I strongly suspect that it’s one of former Chicago Great Western Railway’s #625 to 634 series cabooses built in 1955 which appear in the book Cabins, Crummies& Hacks Vol. 3. But CGW cabooses had roller bearing trucks. I have no further idea.

PVSは、かつてはGE製70トン機2両を運用していたが、現在はEMD製の機関車1両のみを用いている。
PVS SW900m #9は、1938年にLehigh Valley #130として製造されたEMD製NW1を1957年にSW900mに改造した、当鉄道唯一の機関車である。訪問時にはちょうど塗り替え中であったが、ヘッドライト脇のナンバーボードにはConrail時代の番号8657がまだ遺っていた。
PVS caboose #100は当鉄道唯一のカブースである。恐らく中古車であるが、その来歴は不明である。車体形状などはChicago Great Westernの1955年製カブースに瓜二つだが、台車軸受けが異なる。台車だけ振り替えたのだろうか。
