IC SW1 615         
On 18 April 1954 Illinois Central SW1 615 was photographed next to the sand tower at Mays Yard, just west of New Orleans, coupled to SW7 9415. The SW1 had been built in June 1946 as the 9030 and it was renumbered 615 in October 1953 – just six months before this photo was taken – so its original number could be reused on a new GP9. The 9415 was renumbered 415 in December 1959 so its original number could be reused on a new GP18.
