It's not an SW1, but rather an SW, built by EMC (not EMD) as builder # 
734, Jul 1938, order E205-9.  It was "rebuilt" (actually traded in) on 
RI 907, an SW900, builder # 23457, order 7576-8 during Jul 1959.  
Supposedly RI 907 was scrapped during Dec 1980 but a lot of supposedly 
scrapped locos instead were sold for further duty.
