Locomotive D-538 is preserved at the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
The NW1 was the only 201-A-engined N series locomotive model to be ordered in any significant number; 27 were built between November 1937 and January 1939.
Twenty-seven NW1s were built from 1937 to 1939 with a Winton 201-A 12 cylinder prime mover powering a Westinghouse 480 four generator to drive GE 287D traction motors.
With a top speed of 50 mph, they delivered 43,000 lbs continuous tractive effort at 11 mph.
Today you can find a couple of these switchers at railroad museums.
