PLM Railcar Maintenance Co. PLMX 421 ALCO C415
Title:  PLM Railcar Maintenance Co. PLMX 421 ALCO C415
Description:  PLMX 421, an ALCO C415, was built by Alco in October 1966 with a builder's number of 3451-10. When built, she was CRIP 424. In March 1981, it was repossessed by the Union Pacific and sold to Brandon Corp. on June 23, 1981 for use on their Kansas operation, known as Brandon Corp as 424. It later went to PLM and was renumbered to 421 in March 1982. It was stored after 1996 at Morris, KS. Today it sits by the BNSF west of Argentine Yard in sad shape, but still retaining many original features, including the prime mover. One might notice the Rock Island red showing through on the end and sides. Somebody save it!

CRI&P C415 422
Title:  CRI&P C415 422
Description:  Rock Island Alco C415 422 at the Rocket House near 47th Street in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in June 1978, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. In an obvious state of disrepair, this locomotive was built in October 1966 (c/n 3451-08), one of ten on the Rock Island, one of five owned by the UP (#'s 420-424) and leased to the RI. Upon the demise of the RI, the UP's units were returned and stored in Omaha. This particular unit was sold to Brandon Corporation on June 23, 1981 and used for parts, finally scrapped sometime after February 1990.

The prime mover, main generator and equipment blowers were located in the longer of the two hoods. The prime mover was an 8-cylinder model 8-251E, which was very unreliable and very off balanced. A drive shaft from the prime mover ran underneath the cab floor to the shorter of the two hoods, where it ran the air compressor and fan clutch mechanism. The off-centered location of the prime mover caused the locomotive to be badly off balance, leading to excessive wheel slip and wheel wear. The cooling system was also problematic, as coolant had to be transported from the prime mover at one end of the unit through a series of pipes (prone to leakage) to the radiator at the other end of the unit.
