In 2000, Andersen Windows Corporation of Bayport, Minnesota donated the smaller of its two plant switchers, the 3110, to the Minnesota Transportation Museum. Andersen Windows 3110 is a 600-horsepower, model SW-1 switch engine built in June, 1949 by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors, S/N 7741. It was delivered to the Wabash as their number 110. Mechanically, this is an interesting locomotive because it represents the smallest standard packaging of the famous EMD "567" diesel prime mover. Under the exhaust stack is a diminutive V-6 567AC, which is almost as wide as it is long. Currently the 3110 serves as the primary locomotive for the caboose rides at the Jackson Street Roundhouse because it's small prime mover makes it a most economical choice. And today is no different as an employee positions the locomotive and caboose for a child's birthday party that will be arriving shortly.
