BN GP50 3135
Title:  BN GP50 3135
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad GP50 3135 at Springfield, Missouri on December 23, 1993, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in September 1985 (c/n 847065-26), it became BNSF 3135. In my opinion, this is the best attempt that the BN made at a paint scheme.

BN GP50 3159
Title:  BN GP50 3159
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad GP50 3159 at Clyde, Illinois on February 19, 1987, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in November 1985 ( c/n 847073-2 ), the second of five built with the extended crew cab, delivered as #'s 3158 - 3162. This was not the first application of an extended cab to accommodated the crew. The left ( Fireman ) side of some production GP30's was also extended ten inches at the request of the UP. This was done to provide additional room for a third man in the cab. The GP50 cab extension was to accommodate five crew men in the cab, which was extended on both sides 23 inches, in anticipation of cabooseless trains.

Description:  BN GP50 3159 at Clyde, Illinois on February 19, 1987, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in November 1985 (c/n 847073-2), the second of five built with the extended crew cab, delivered as #'s 3158-3162. The tank car splicing the pairs of locomotives was known as a fuel tender. As I understand the concept, the idea was to save money by purchasing the fuel at the cheapest location, and avoiding more expensive re-fueling at outlying locations. The fuel tender was connected to the modified locomotives, saving money by avoiding re-fueling enroute. I'm not certain how this experiment played out in the long run.

BN C415 4010
Title:  BN C415 4010
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad C415 4010 at Clyde, Illinois, on an unknown day in November 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in November 1968 (c/n 6009-01) as Spokane Portland & Seattle 100, it was one of two owned by the SP&S (the other being SP&S 101, later BN 4011), both retired in October 1980. These two units turned out to be among the last five C415's built. The SP&S had four additional C415's on order, but those were cancelled when Alco exited the locomotive building business in early 1969. The two SP&S C415's moved on to work at Ohio River Terminals in Huntingon, WV. This is the rear view.

Builw in November 1968 as SP&S 100 (c/n 6009-01), it was one of only two SP&S C415's, and the only two on BN's roster as well. More C415's were ordered by the SP&S- but Alco ceased the locomotive buklding business before completing the order. This one was retired from the BN in October 1980, so it is seen here in its firqt month of retirement.

BN RS-3 4056
Title:  BN RS-3 4056
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad class ARS-3 4056 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1980, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in January 1952 as SP&S 71 (c/n 79594), retired in April 1980. Alco's internal model designation was E1662, Alco's marketing people called it RS-3, and BN stenciled the frame ARS-3. A comment from S. L. Dixon offers the following: That white stuff all over the walkways and the top is Mount Saint Helen's ash, which blew on May 18, 1980, and Vancouver Washington, and Portland, Oregon, got hit with some serious ashfall.

BN RS-3 4056
Title:  BN RS-3 4056
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad class ARS-3 4056 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1980, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in January 1952 as Spokane Portland & Seattle 71 (c/n 79594), it became BN 4056 and was retired in April 1980.

This locomotive shows evidence of a water-cooled turbocharger. Beginning in 1953, the trouble prone GE RD-1 air-cooled turbocharger (which GE developed during WWII for P38 aircraft) was replaced by a water-cooled GE RD-3 turbocharger, and in 1954 by Alco's own design, the Model 510. The water-cooled turbocharger was mounted with the cylindrical casing facing the free end of the prime mover. The RD-1 was mounted oriented lengthwise. The external difference was in the exhaust stack. The air cooled turbo stack was oriented lengthwise to the hood, the water-cooled turbo stack was mounted crosswise to the hood, as seen here. Many RS3's were retrofitted with the water cooled turbocharger during their operational lives.

The white powder on the roof and running boards is ash from the Mount Saint Helen's eruption. This locomotive was retired in Washington and happened to be in the neighborhood during the eruption, then was shipped east dead for final disposition.

Title:  BN B30-7AB 4057
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad B30-7AB 4057 at Clyde, Illinois on September 27, 1986, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in August 1983 (c/n 44415), and it represents a Phase II design in the B30-7AB concept. The box on the roof just behind where the cab would be is the dynamic brake resistor grid. On the earlier version, the grid was located in the usual position in the radiator intake at the rear of the unit. The exhaust stack is covered, so I'm, guessing it's going back to GE for warranty repair.

Built in June 1953 as SP&S RS3 79 (c/n 80495), it became BN ARS3 4064 sometime after the March 2, 1970 merger, retired by the BN during April 1980. The frame is stencilled: SM-8-77. This locomotive and about a dozen more of Alco lineage were parked for a couple of weeks on the most southern track between Clyde and Cicero along Ogden Avenue. There was a fence on the other side of these locomotives. It was a challenge getting this photo.

Title:  BN RS11 4188
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad class ARS-11 4188 in the dead line at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in July 1958 as NP RS11 908 (c/n 82952), it became BN ARS-11 4188 and was retired from the BN in August 1980, went on to become DOWX 1006. The five square vent openings at the top of the long hood indicates this unit was equipped with dynamic brakes. An unfortunate location for the hand brake (likely because the demonstrators were set up to run long hood forward), it did not play well with most railroad's paint schemes. The RS11 (Alco's internal model specification was DL-701) introduced the new Model 251 prime mover and replaced the RS3 in Alco's 1956 catalog. It was intended to directly compete with EMD's GP9, but did not fare well, with a total production of 356 units, plus 75 produced in Canada by MLW, versus EMD's GP9 production of 3,444 units.
