Looking for photos of Erie SW1 #360

[jargonlet]

I am looking for a picture or pictures of Erie SW1. Erie only owned one SW1 and it was numbered 360. It lasted into Erie Lackawanna and I don't think it ever got repainted unlike the SW1's that the DLW brought to the merger. I have an SW1 that I would like to repaint into Erie. I would assume that the paint would be the same as on the other Erie switchers but would like to see a picture before I repaint. I have Erie Power which covers what I need in steam but it doesn't have the SW1 although it dies have a lot of diesel.

Got full length hand rails early. Later got a big EL inside the diamond.

Thanks Chris. I knew that site existed but had never been on there before. I'm surprised that none of the pictures came up in a search. For painting, I guess a plain black will do?

Yeah black is black pretty much.  I didn't do up a SW-1 because it stayed pretty much in NJ it whole life as far as I can see. Not even sure if it ever got a regular diamond. Just pre-1941 font right to EL. But I could be wrong about that.

Here is the whole EL site:

I think he blocks Google searches to keep traffic down.

EDIT: found a pic of it with a regular diamond and original short handrails in Oct 1950 @ Jersey City.


Makes me wonder why this photo shows full handrails and early diamond...

Normally I wouldn't do a loco that stayed mainly in NJ, I did want to have an SW1. I am looking to keep most of my fleet geared towards Huntington, IN. Any idea which switcher was used in the Huntington area?

I'm not sure about Huntington, but if you run a SW1 I won't tell 

[jargonlet]

So you mean just as long as it has diamonds...

   Erie used Alcos,Baldwins,and Limas past Meadville,but they did get shuffled
   around now and then,especially after the Limas were retired in the 60s.
   1969 had Baldwins in Youngstown Ohio when visiting there on the Lake Cities.
   the crews hated the Baldwins.later they were replaced by Alco S switchers until
  they started being replaced by Alco RS-2/3s in the 70s..
    the 360 was a "Float" loco,as were the boxcabs,Alco HH and S-1 locos,since most
   were under 100 tons.
   generally east of Hornell was EMD switchers,but after the merger Scranton could
   have a few Alcos also.
    checking pics in Larry Ds color books is a good source of of info and inspiration.
   the New EL Loco books are usefull also,the low numbered one should have the switcher
   fleet.
   nothing like listening to a 400 series grinding up the Rutherford grade with a long train.
