BN SDP45 6593
Title:  BN SDP45 6593
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad SDP45 6593 at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in October 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Note what appears to be a lagged pipe between the pilot and drop step, presumably once a steam heat pipe. Anyone know the purpose of that pipe please leave a comment, thanks.

BN SDP45 6595
Title:  BN SDP45 6595
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad SDP45 6595 and SD7 6054 at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in May 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. And now, a rant. I've cleaned up my language for sensitive viewers. Of all of EMD's poor designs, including the BL2, I think this unfortunate notch in the short hood of 6595 for the hand brake is the winner. How difficult would it have been to put a piece of sheet metal in the front to complete the facade and protect the hand brake from the elements. This had to be one of those Friday afternoon designs where the draftsman was concerned about going home for the weekend and took shortcuts to complete the job. End of rant.
