Nevada Northern No. 401

Nevada Northern No. 401 is a six axle SD7 diesel locomotive built by Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD) in August 1952 under works number 16842. It is a C-C road-switcher that is equipped with a 1200 gallon fuel tank.
No. 401 first entered service for the Nevada Northern Railway in September 1952 hauling freight and copper ore trains along the line for the next 30 years. In June 1983 the locomotive hauled the last revenue freight service on the Nevada Northern. Due to this last and final service it had earned the title of The Last Empress of Ely.
The railroad line along with No. 401 was then sold to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) for a proposed coal-fired power plant which eventually receded. In 1988 No. 401 was then moved to the new LADWP power plant in Delta, UT and was put back into service there where it still remains to this day. 
The locomotive has been promised to the Nevada Northern Railway Museum as part of the agreement to sell the track north of Ely, NV, and No. 401 back to the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation. Currently there is no projected timeline set for the return of No. 401 the Nevada Northern Railway Museum.
