Built in April of 1945, serial # 73347, for Delray Connecting (#66). It was sold to Midwest Steel as #203 and was later donated to the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, IL. It is most likely in route there in the above scene. In 2000 IRM acquired a S-1 in far better condition and offered 203 for sale. With little interest from preservationists it was sold to a scrapper and meet in final fate on the IRM property in spring of 2006.
