SW9
7014 - To Coopersville & Marne (CMRX? Can someone confirm these are the C&M marks?) in 1989.
There's also an old SW9 at the Board of Water & Light's powerplant in Lansing. I don't know the old number, but it has been renumbered by BWL to 796.

Lansing Board of Water & Light switcher

About 1987 GTW sold SW-900 7232 to Lansing Board of Water & Light. Could this be the 796?

Greg the marks for Coopersville and Marne in 1989 was C E or Coopersville and Eastern. Dave posted a great pic on MichiganRR.com on the Lower board with 7014 in GT paint and a big C E on the hood. In late 89 or 90 they changed the name to Coopersville and Marne. So I dont think that CMRX fits for 89
