The EMD SW1000 was a four-axle diesel switcher locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between June 1966 and October 1972. An EMD 645E 8-cylinder engine generated 1,000 horsepower, and it was built on the same common frame as the SW1500, giving an overall length of 44 feet 8 inches. It was taller than earlier EMD switchers, which exceeded the tight clearances at many industrial facilities, so most of the 114 built went to railroads, with over a third going to the Burlington Northern. EMD answered the problem with the lower SW1001. BNSF 3613 is preserved in Portland, Oregon.
