SP SD45R 7426, Clyde, Illinois, August 1982, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built as road number 8867 in February 1967 (c/n 32781) on EMD Order 7954, SP Class EF636-2, it was rebuilt to SD45R 7426 sometime after 1981. It appears that it was later rebuilt to SD40-2 specs and became CEFX 3150. |

BN F9 768 |
| Description: |
BN F9 768 at Clyde, Illinois on August 12, 1982, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built as Northern Pacific F9 7007A (c/n 20324) on EMD Order 3181 in February 1955, later renumbered NP 6700C, and on March 2, 1970 became BN 9800, later still it became BN 768. As a 9800 series locomotive, it was equipped with a steam generator and was available for passenger duties, which became a moot point with the advent of Amtrak. It is seen here in it's final configuration as a freight locomotive, and likely on it's last miles as records indicate it was retired in the month that I shot this photo. As an aside, I was a CB&Q fan, and none of the CB&Q F units made it into the BN merger, so I was quite surprised to see a F unit in the Chicago area. I shot a whole roll of film on this single locomotive. |
