RSSX 904 - SW1200

Built for the Missouri Pacific as MP 1150 in April 1966, this veteran EMD has been switching cars for almost 60 years. The locomotive made it to Union Pacific's roster after the MP-UP merger, but never received a UP number. It was sold as MP 1150 to Precision National Corp in April 1985. PNC turned around and sold the locomotive in December 1986 to Railway Switching Services (Railserve), and the engine has been doing contract switching ever since.

 

As of 2025, RSSX 904 calls Bayport in the Port of Houston as its home. Here it's sitting at the Baystar chemical plant, a manufacturer of various polyethylene products.
