WP 1502 -- EMD SW1500 - a photo on Flickriver

            Scan of a postcard. 
From the back of the postcard:
"At the western terminal of the railroad's main line in Oakland, California is WESTERN PACIFIC Electro-Motive SW1500 number 1502. The 1500-horsepower switch engine is the second of three such units delivered to the railroad in May of 1973 primarily for duty in the San Francisco Bay Area."

All three of WP's SW1500's (1501-1503) are still in service with the Union Pacific Railroad. This engine is now UPY 1041.
