jhz563 posted:My employer, Talen Energy, is auctioning off one locomotive and some old flat cars as part of general clean up around the plant. The loco documentation is a mix of sw-9 and sw-1200. The engine turns over freely but will not start as the generator needs work. Loco is equipped for Cat-tron remote operation. Engine repair tag from 1999 indicates it is equipped with a 12-645 engine.
Please note that the prime mover (engine) is actually an "old" 12-567C that has been up-graded with 645 power assemblies. Thus the designation "12-645CE", i.e. the crankcase is still an "original" 567C crankcase.
Another thought, although the trucks are equipped with roller bearings, those old switchers did NOT have alignment controlled draft gear/couplers, thus big railroads will generally not move such a unit in-train. Any potential buyer will probably have to truck it to its new home.
