West-Con SW1200RS #1287 - Western Consolidation Cooperative |
| Description: |
This enigmatic little switcher was photographed by Eric Berg sometime in March of 2002. So far I have not been able to find a reporting mark for West-Con (Western Consolidation Cooperative) nor an accurate history of the loco. Thanks to Raymond Kennedy (see comment below), the switcher has been identified as CN #1287 built in 10/1957 (serial #A1183) and NOT a rebuilt CP #1287 from the DRS12 class. Thanks Raymond! |

Looking more like a mini calliope with the large number of stacks, this Southern Ontario Rail switcher has an odd appearance in northwest Indiana. |

Not much to see anymore, even in the dead line but a couple "I-ball" switchers and a lonely CN switcher that looks like it came down from the north! |

| Description: |
May be the last time anyone ever sees these switchers. There again, maybe they will be reborn somewhere else and serve out their remaining days. |
