    Two of the Air Force SW8s that were used for the Titan Rocket Program at Cape Canaveral, FL. These two SW8s (2000 & 2007) are at the NASA Railroad Maintenance Shop in this photo being readied for transit to Hill Air Force Base, Ogden, UT. With the launch of the last Titan Rocket this summer and the end of the program, the Air Force had no further need for these switchers at Cape Canaveral. The Air Force still retains one SW8 there but has not yet determined its future.
