Nice paint job, but an SW1500 it is not. The older style cab and hood plus the single exhaust stack, indicate an SW600, SW800 or SW900.

Nice shot --- I think it's an SW7 if I remember right. MNN does keep their locos looking good ... it's actually had that paint job for a while - http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=152857 More info on MNN, DN, and SCXY: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KBN_RRs/

I think J.C. was on the right track when he said this unit is an SW900. It's not an SW1500 because it's more rounded and it's not an SW9 because it only has one exhaust stack. Some SW900s had two stacks, but as far as I know, no SW9s had one. Nice catch on a handsome little switcher though.
