Some Southwestern Shorties – Southwestern Railroad, part 3 [Misc. RR Photo Archives]
: SW #5103
SW SD50 #5103 was first built in 1985 as C&NW #7029. It later became UP #5089, WAMX #5103, LTEX #5103, and finally became SW #5103.

: SW #6998
SW SD40-2 #6998 was first built in 1971 as CN SD40 #5235. It later rebuilt and renumbered to BNSF SD40-2 #7338, #6998, and finally became SW #6998. Note it still equips the extended roof.

: SW #3124
A little damaged SW SD40M-2 #3124 without front handrail was found tied down at Chisum siding where two SW trains collided on April 28, 2015[1, 2]. The SD40M-2 was first built in 1968 as SP SD45 #8954. It was later rebuilt and renumbered to SD45R #7516, CEFX SD40M-2 #3124, and finally became SW #3124.

SW also listed two former D&RGW EMD SD50 locomotives. Unfortunately, however, SW #9851, former D&RGW #5507 was lost in the Chisum collision.
When we visited the site, the particular locomotive was still tied down at the siding, severely damaged, and the cross offered: I couldn’t make myself feel like taking a photo.
当Southwestern RailroadのCarlsbad Divisionに充当される機関車の多くはEMD製SD機である。いずれも中古だが、かつての姿を彷彿とさせる部分があり、趣味的には見ていて興味深い。
筆者がとらえた中では、SD40-2 #6998やSD40M-2 #3124にその出自を証す部分が遺っている。すなわち、#6998ではCNなど北米北部に配置された機関車に特有のフィルター部分の雪除け、#3124ではSP/SSWなどに特有の横長方向に取り付けられた前照灯である。
SWには元D&RGWのSD50が2両在籍するが、そのうちの1両#9851・元D&RGW #5507は、先に記した事故現場にキャブを激しく損傷した姿で留置されていた。脇には亡くなった乗務員に供えたと思われる十字架も立ち、とても写真を撮る気にはなれなかった。
