Washington Central Railroad, WCRC 203 has just picked a switch and is on the ground at Warden, WA on August 11, 1995. The switch had just been rebuilt and was locked but the first axle on the 203 went on the ground while going through the switch.
The WCRC 203 was an SW1200 EMD switcher built for the Missouri Pacific in April of 1966 as the MP 1148. It came to the Washington Central as the 203 and worked for the Columbia Basin also as the 203. I photographed it at Warden in 2001 and 2002. The CBRW retired it in 2014, and it went to the SMTX as the 203 before going to SVGX as the 1363 where it was also repainted.
