The image features an EMD SW1 diesel-electric switcher locomotive belonging to the Tulsa–Sapulpa Union Railway.
The SW1 model was manufactured by General Motors' Electro-Motive Corporation (later Division) between 1938 and 1953.
It is a 600-horsepower (450 kW) engine, powered by a V6 EMD 567 engine.
The specific locomotive in the image is TSU 301, as indicated by the text on the side of the cabin.
The Tulsa-Sapulpa Union Railway began using diesel locomotives, including two EMD SW1s, in 1960 after discontinuing electric freight trains.
