The EMD SW1 is a 600 horsepower diesel-electric switcher locomotive built by General Motors' Electro-Motive Corporation, later Division, between December 1938 and November 1953, with final assembly at La Grange (McCook), Illinois. It was the second generation of 3,402 cubic inch switcher from EMD, using the then-new EMD 567 engine in V6 form. A total of 661 were built, with a production gap between March 1943 and September 1945 because of World War II. The SW1 started a long line of SW series switchers, and its name came from the 600 horsepower S rating and the W for welded frame. The SW600 replaced it in 1954.
