The local Flying-J refinery in North Salt Lake switches with a white SW600 - that's what they say it is. I know this is not a common model. How many were made?

Very rare machine, the SW600. EMD built a total of 15 between June 1954 and September 1962. Diesel data from A J Kristopans GM Serial Number page. :wink:

Another difference was the SW600 had a C engine while the SW1 had an A or B.

I have a customer looking for a 6-567C Engine core or even a block and crank if anyone can help find one. Thank-you.
