MP SD50 5004 |
Description: |
MP SD50 5004 at Cotter, Arkansas on March 11, 1989, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is a unit coal train to a power plant at Newport, Arkansas. I witnessed the unloading process on another train and the power will stay coupled to the train as it is pulled through the rotary unloader by the power plant's mechanical arms. I was surprised to find out the rotary was operated by a plant employee, not a railroad employee. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to inspect the condition of each piece of rolling stock as it turned upside down. |

MP SD50 5017 |
Description: |
MP SD50 5017 crossing the White River at Cotter, Arkansas on October 29, 1987, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is a loaded unit coal train decending a 1 percent grade into Cotter Yard, about a half mile beyond this point, where the crew will change. Unfortunately the MP ordered their SD50's without dynamic brakes, so it will require air brakes to control this train into the yard. The MP was a power braking road, meaning the locomotives kept pulling even when the brakes were applied in order to keep the train stretched. Of course the engine brakes were bailed off. The purpose was to keep from breaking coupler knuckles. |

MP SD50 5029 |
Description: |
MP SD50 5029 at Cotter, Arkansas on July 17, 1986, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 5029 was the trailing unit on a coal train destined for a power plant in Newport, Arkansas. I'm not sure of the details, but this train arrived two days earlier and parked in Cotter. Not wishing to walk a mile to get to the Cotter depot, the head-end crew cut off their train and ran around it, parking the power next to the caboose. |

MP SD50 5031 |
Description: |
Missouri Pacific Railroad SD50 5031 at Cotter, Arkansas on April 28, 1989, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. There appears to be six SD50's dragging an empty unit coal train up a grade out of Cotter, two more units than usual, suggesting an equipment move perhaps. This started out as a perfectly lit scene, until train time, and then a cloud rolled in, and so this is what you get. |

The crew is changed after approximated 100 hoppers of coal was dumped at the Independence Power Plant near Newark, Arkansas. Presumably after several more crew changes, the train will be loaded in Wyoming and return to Arkansas. |

MP SW 6006 |
Description: |
Mystery locomotive on the Pielet Brothers setout track at La Grange, Illinois on November 15, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I believe this was an EMD Model SW, the spotting feature are the "falsies" welded to the frame at the inside corners of the stepwells. The Model SC (Cast frame) had similar shapes but were inset more and were part of the stepwells. It looks like Missouri Pacific paint. The MP had four SC's, but acquired a pair of SW's by way of subsidiary Union Terminal Railway. The following is from the book, Missouri Pacific Diesel Power, by Kevin EuDaly: The SC and the SW were built simultaneously at EMC, though EMC was pushing the SW which had a fabricated welded frame ("W" for welded and "C" for cast). The SC had a cast frame which EMC could not produce in its own shop, hence the attempt to sell the SW over the SC. Though there has been some confusion between the two models in the past, close-up photographs have revealed that the MoPac units were indeed SC's with cast frames (road numbers 9000-9003). When welded frames began in late 1936, many railroad people viewed them as a cheap imitation for a substantial cast frame. Consequently, engineers at La Grange decided to disguise their welded frames by applying a fake sheet metal section at each corner of the frame. These appeared on the SW1's, NW2's and TR2's until April 1949, when a cost cutting measure struck them from the package.By this time no one cared about whether frames were welded or cast. In 1938 MoPac subsidiary Union Terminal Railway (UT) got into the diesel act by purchasing an SW from EMC, which was outshopped as UT-5. In December the Saint Joseph Belt (SJB) picked up an SW (SJB-10). In the roster section of the book, the following is shown for the SW's: UT-5 became SJB-5, then MP 6005, built 05/38 (c/n 718), retired 8/65, to PNC, to Pickens, renumbered PIRR-3. UT-10 is shown at becoming SJB-10, then MP 6006, built 12/38 (c/n 751) retired 9/63, scrapped. So by process of elimination, the locomotive shown MAY have been MP 6006, built as either SJB-10 or UT-10. |
