Little Rock & Western SW1504

Brought out of the depths of Mexico, this switch was rebuilt to US standards and repainted at the Bay Line shops (I think...) for G&W's Little Rock & Western in Arkansas.

This one kinda snuck out of the paintshop on me, it's being roaming around since December!

Probably not in Little Rock but it may be a left over from Mexico.
Depending on the unit's last assignment, it was probably on there for protection.

The AC unit was added during repaint, from what I hear the cages are to prevent damage to the fragile cases on the RV style ones...
