Cargil NW2 Number 1004, US Route 41 Ruskin, Florida
I was out for a day of Railfanning on July 27, 2005 driving South on US 41, when I found these two Cargil Fertilizer Endcab Switchers nested between some Covered Hopper Cars.
Cargil Fertilizer Number 157 is a General Motors, Electromotive Division SW1, 600 Horse Power Supercharged Diesel Locomotive built between 1938 & 1953 in LaGrange Illinois.
Cargil Fertilizer Number 1004 is a General Motors, Electromotive Division NW2, 1,000 Horse Power, V-12 Diesel Locomotive built between 1939 & 1949 in LaGrange Illinois.
Cargil is a Phosphate Mining and Processing Company located in Bone Valley, Florida.
The Huge Mounds behind the Locomotives, are Phosphate Tailings (aka: Phosphate Waste), left over after the Phosphate is extracted from the Soil.
