Revelation Energy's Sunny Knott mine in Lackey, KY hasn't loaded in a few months. But former NREX SW10 1287 has been re-numbered LOC 1 & is waiting for the time when it will be called upon to spot hoppers for loading.

 

Built in 1953 as UP SW9 1826, it was rebuilt (Sep92) by UP-Omaha as UP SW10 1240, retired in mid-1998 & sold to Connell Leasing (Jul98), leased (Oct99) long-term to CP Rail, repainted & renumbered CP 1287, but returned (2002) due to reliability problems, to NREX 1287 (May05) & placed in their lease fleet.

 

It has been leased to various coal companies since & may've been sold to Revelation Energy.
