EMD/GMD SW1200RS Road Switcher – Twin Pair – Canadian Pacific
Thank You Everyone for 1000+ Subs! A bonus car is available here.
Built between 1955 and 1964 by General Motors Diesel Canada, the SW1200RS was a variant on EMD’s popular SW-series switchers. These units received Road Switcher modifications including large front numberboards, larger fuel tanks, and Master/Slave Multiple Unit capabilities. Over 250 of these units were produced, with the majority being purchased by Canadian National and Canadian Pacific. It was not uncommon to see 2 or more of these locomotives coupled together to haul a train. These paired units showcase the classic Canadian Pacific brown, grey and gold livery.

It may occasionally be necessary to uncouple the other locomotive(s). (E.G. to move a single locomotive to the rear of your train.) To do this, you should:
- Stop Train
- Turn off all headlights
- Turn on Disable MU Control switch – If in a slave locomotive, only the particular slave will be isolated. If in the controlling locomotive, ALL other locomotives will be isolated.
- Press uncoupling button
- Increase throttle
Once you’ve coupled back onto the other locomotive, turn off the Disable MU Control switch to resume control of your paired locomotive(s)
This locomotive was created for MrNJersey’s Freight Train Challenge
