There is a short film on You Tube that promoted tourism to Alexandria, Minnesota in the early 1950s. The film is titled: " Alexandria - Minnesota's Vacationland - Downtown & Community Info ". There is footage of an NW5, leading a local train of Pullman Green heavyweights, that is stopping at the Alexandria Great Northern depot.

I am an active member of The Southern Michigan Railroad Museum in Clinton, Michigan and must say that its awesome to see what the LSRM is doing with restoring these fine pieces of Railroading history!! I might have to get out that way sometime and put the skills i've learned within the Railroading world to more good use, By the way i love the old SOO Line Diesel in the background!!!

Actually, there is another NW-5 (EX-CRGX #61) at Parrish, FL! Despite being inoperable, it has been put on a track with multiple railcars behind it, the very last railcar being a caboose.

This is definitely not the only NW5 left. Rare bird indeed but Mass Central has owned and operated one since 1980. Having said that, this was beautiful restoration of a unique engine. Well done!

according to wikipedia, this is the only one in fully restored condition. there's another still in operation in Massachusetts and one on static display in Florida. as for the NW3, surprisingly there were 2 in existence at the start of 2018, one in operating condition and the other on static display, but due to the remote location of the operating unit transportation costs were viewed as too high and it was scrapped.

Had one of these around Great Falls, MT running switching and short haul operations up till shortly after the BN/SF "merger". Which it was then promptly scraped. It was a sad day that day for all the workers. Old Joe was the nick name it got, and even got to drive it as a kid in the 90s. Funny fact about it was they had taken out the steam generator and installed a toilet at some point in it's life.

When I was young kid growing up in Portland, Oregon burning time waiting for the Portland Rose Festival starlight parade to start on a sunny Saturday night. Our family would get a spot on the Broadway bridge over the Union Station, train station. Well their is a stairway coming off the bridge going to a sidewalk next to the train tracks in Union Station which also served as a switching yard for the Portland Traction Company. Well the engineer of a NW-2 and crew ask me if I wanted to ride along in the cab as they where switching box cars that night well , yes I said so waiting for the parade to start which was about 2 hours , I rode along in the cab of that switch engine. I’ve never forgotten that experience.

The locomotive does not have a 12 cylinder diesel "motor". There is no such thing as an internal combustion "motor". The proper nomenclature is "engine" or "prime mover". There are electric motors, hydraulic motors, and air motors - but no diesel or gasoline "motors".

Great video. But your presentation could use a bit of fact checking. I know of 2 more. Mass Central's (ex SOU) and CRGX 61 in Parrish Florida. Former FSUD 2. Also. These were not intended for branchline service. Instead, they were marketed for passenger terminal switchers. The steam heat was to keep coaches warm when the road power was serviced. (both the NW3,NW5).. However it was GN itself that decided they would be good for branchlines, not EMD. EMD wasn't interested at all in the Roadswitcher concept. Witness that after the NW5 ceased production, EMD made their concept of a Branchline loco. the EMD BL2.. an F unit modified with a bit better rear view. The RS1325 was intended to be a passenger terminal switcher as well. But again, C&IM ordered them for the branchline role, a role they were not really marketed for. Many many railroads ordered things from EMD for roles they were never marketed for.

EMD, yes; Electric Motor Division, no - no such thing. Founded as Electro-Motive Engineering Corporation in the early 1920s, soon changed to Electro-Motive Company. GM acquired Winton Engine Company in 1930 and Electro-Motive Company soon after, then renaming the latter Electro-Motive Corp (EMC). Winton, EMC and portions of Cleveland Diesel Division were combined into Electro-Motive Division (EMD) in 1941. GM sold the company in 2005. It is now called Electro-Motive Diesel, Inc., still EMD, and is now owned under the Progress Rail division by Caterpillar.
