DBGX 6129 |
| Description: |
Benkelman, in the far southwestern corner of Nebraska, is home to a new grain elevator, which is switched by DeBruce Grain SD9 6129. This venerable EMD product rolled out of the La Grange IL plant as Colorado & Southern 837 in April 1959. The unit was renumbered Burlington Northern 6232 when C&Ss parent railroad, the Chicago Burlington & Quincy, was merged with the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Spokane Portland & Seattle. The BN would later merge with the Santa Fe, and this engine became, for a short time, Burlington Northern Santa Fe 6129. |

Sunbury 1088 |
| Description: |
The Sunbury Generation LP power plant at Shamokin Dam Pennsylvania, owns a switcher to handle the coal cars that arrive at the plant. The heritage of the engine, SW900R 1088, is apparent from the light package on the front - This engine rolled out of EMDs factory in suburban Chicago in June 1954 as Southern Pacific SW900 4627, wearing the attractive "zebra stripe" orange, silver and black paint scheme. In 1965 SP renumbered it to 1173, and rebuilt it to an SW900R in October 1974, which also warranted a new number: SP 1194. The mighty SP retired this engine in December 1986, and ten months later sold it to Levin Metals in Richmond, CA. Levin in turn sold it to National Railway Equipment Corporation, who sold it in 1990 to Pennsylvania Power & Light Company, who numbered it 1088. Along with new paint, of course, other modifications to this engine by its new owners include the addition of a snowplow on each end, spark arrestors and a rebuilt cab roof in order to clear the power plants equipment - But the old SP light package and hood-mounted numberboards remain!

GMTX 2623 |
| Description: |
Wandering the grounds of Metro East Industries, Incorporated, in Alorton, Illinois, is like browsing in a well-stocked hobby shop - Following every turn one discovers locomotives painted for yet another railroad or leasing company! At the southern end of a typically eclectic string of diesels is GMTX GP38-2 2623. This EMD product started out as Penn Central GP38 7932, later becoming part of the Conrail roster (as CR 7932) upon that railroads formation in 1976. When CRs assets were divided among Norfolk Southern and CSX, this GP38 became CSXT 1994. (Other power visible includes locomotives from former NJ Transit [now MVPX], Helm Leasing and CEFX.) [Taken on private property with permission and full PPE.] |

SOO 2064 |
| Description: |
On February 26, 2006, I photographed Soo Line GP40 2064 in Canadian Pacifics engine facility in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Eight years, seven months and six days later I photographed it again, this time in Granite City, Illinois. Built in December 1968 and now owned by Respondek Railroad Corporation, but not yet wearing the RRC reporting mark, this engine still retains the colors of original owner Milwaukee Road. |

EMDX 7101 |
| Description: |
The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach tend to have a higher than average amount of air-borne particulates, due to all the ship, truck and rail traffic required to get thousands of containers per day on their way across America. As a result, little Pacific Harbor Line, which switches the port area, is always on the lookout for new, low-emission locomotives. Testing on the PHL on July 15, 2016, is EMDX GP22ECO 7101, caught bringing a short train to an industrial section of Long Beach, California. Originally Penn Central GP40 3173 (built by EMD in October 1968), this engine became Conrail 3173 when that railroad was formed in 1976. CR sold it so KCS, as their 750, later renumbered to KCS 4750. It was later rebuilt as a "GP40-3" for Kansas City Southern, for which it wore number 4789 and, later, 2836. |
