EMD serial number 1834 was of the seven 40s to see military service. It was built in April 1942 and originally wore USAX road number 1; a transfer to the U.S Transportation Corps brought a new number: 7403. The rare EMD center-cab was deemed surplus at the end of 1946 and sold to Buffalo Slag, as #3 (later renumbered 36). A long-time resident of the empire state, the unit went to work for Cushing Stone (of Amsterdam, New York) during the early months of 1964 as their #36, and later as #264. The present status of the locomotive is uncertain.
