Title:  BN SD40-2 7102
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad SD40-2 7102 and C&IM SD38-2 74 at Clyde, Illinois on September 8 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is from BN Annual 1977-80, edited by Hol Wagner: Beginning in September 1978, Chicago & Illinois Midland units began operating on the BN out of Galesburg, Illinois in exchange for the BN units which were running through from Peoria to Havanna, IL over P&PU/C&IM trackage with Commonwealth Edison coal trains. The coal trains had been running this way since 1970, but the C&IM had been paying for the use of BN power. At first, C&IM SD9's and SD18's were the common 'payment power', but shortly the Midland's six SD38's became the standard units.

BN SD40-2 7860
Title:  BN SD40-2 7860
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad SD40-2 7860 at West Burlington, Iowa on October 22, 1983 Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in October 1978 ( c/n 786001-5 ) on EMD Order 786001 for 13 SD40-2's for the Colorado & Southern ( #'s 7856-7868 ). Five years later, 7860 was in the shops for some major work. The following is a paragraph from the publication, "Burlington Northern 1977-80 Annual", by Hol Wagner: "During 1978 it was finally decided to renumber all C&S and FW&D locomotives into the BN numbering system ( as had been originally proposed 10 years earlier ). Actual renumbering did not get under way until December 1978, and then only the C&S 930-961 series SD40-2's used in coal service were changed, becoming 7800-7831, more than six months after new C&S SD40-2's 7832-7855 were delivered. Slots for other C&S/FW&D units were not finalized until July 1979, with renumbering beginning in earnest during September. With the exception of four FW&D GP7's slated for retirement, the renumbering was completed during 1980. The C&S and FW&D initials disappeared from above or near the numberboards but were supposed to remain near the BN logo on the cab sides. In many cases however, the owner's initials were removed entirely from the units, creating confusion for photo collectors, since quite a few of the numbers had previously been used by the BN on locomotives of the same model."
