NKP RS11 855 |
| Description: |
Nickel Plate Road RS11 855 at Calumet City, Illinois on June 13, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in February 1959 (c/n 83019) on Order S-3305 for 14 units, classed ARS-18c on the NKP. It was retired May 1, 1974. The NKP purchased a total of 35 RS-11's in three orders, none of which had dynamic brakes. The RS-11 introduced the Model 251 diesel prime mover in 1956, which addressed several problems with the earlier Model 244 diesel, most notably was crankshaft failure. The crankshaft bearing surfaces were increased in width, resulting in a longer engine block for the 251. Alco reverted to the wet block design, testing had revealed that the Model 244 dry block introduced differential thermally-induced block expansion (the block expanded unevenly when hot), which caused mis-alignment along the crankshaft axis, contributing to crankshaft failure. The turbocharger was a water-cooled Alco design which incorporated an aftercooler to provide cooler combustion air. Cooler air is denser, thus more air could be introduced into each cylinder, improving combustion efficiency. In addition, Alco re-engined two Baldwin AS-16 road switchers for the NKP with 1800 hp 251B diesels. Note how Alco had to cast the poling pockets into the frame behind the steps. |

NKP RS-11 #858 - Nickel Plate Road |
| Description: |
Built by Alco in January of 1959, this RS-11 unit is now showing its age just months before being renumbered to NW 2858 after the merger. It looks like a Peoria & Pekin Union Rwy switcher sits behind the NKP unit with sister NKP 860 to the right. |

Extra 375 Eask |
| Description: |
having arrived from the west perhaps as far as Mandan on the Yellowstone Division, here are a pair of NP road switchers with the new simplified paint scheme. Was is "classic NP"?! Not for me, no it was not! But the times they were a changing, as so it was noted in a song by Bob Dylan who was born in Duluth! Most people think or believed that the NP was double track west of the Twin Cities. But that is only partly true. Between Northtown (University Avenue) and St Cloud, it was joint double track with the GN owning the eastward track! |

Cold Day In East Grand Forks |
| Description: |
NP Alco RS11 914 takes a spin on the turntable at the East Grand Forks roundhouse in February 1970, only a few weeks before the BN merger. At this time the road ran a daily train to Winnipeg from here behind 2 to 3 GP9s or RS11s. A trio of GP9s sit to the left. Scanned from a 126 print. |
