NJT SW1500
From Railroad Wiki
New Jersey Transit rostered four SW1500s at its peak, 500-503. Presently, 500 and 501 are on the dead line at Hoboken; they are rumored to be sent out to MPI as parts donors for the GP40FH-2 switcher conversions. 502 is still chugging away, alternating between the MMC and Hoboken, and 503 is believed sold to HLCX, possibly scrapped, after a sideswipe incident at the MMC.
