B&M owned 12 EMD SW9 end cab switchers, numbered 1220-1231, built in 1952 and 1953.

The 1222 is reported to have been scrapped at Billerica in late 1989.
The 1220 was renumbered 1420, the 1223 became 1421, 1224 became 1422.
1228 became 1423 and 1229 became 1424.

Other than the 1222, does anyone have details on final dispostion of the other
eleven units, including the four that were renumbered.

I am especially interested if any of them survived the scrapper and are still around somewhere.
Thanks.

1424 is still intact and is part of the LTEX lease fleet at McDonald, OH.

(Their site has it incorrectly listed as an SW1200 for some reason.)
