BN SD7 6024
Title:  BN SD7 6024
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad SD7 6024 at Clyde, Illinois on February 26, 1984, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built as CB&Q SD7 301 in May 1953 (c/n 18321) on EMD Order 5242, it became BN 6024 and one source states that it was retired in September 1983. It is stencilled CENTRALIA, perhaps it lingered a bit before being forwarded to Clyde for storage and disposition. I can't be certain, but it's possible that the rear exhaust stack is covered with some white material.

BN SD7 6052
Title:  BN SD7 6052
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad SD7 6052 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in June 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built as CB&Q SD7 404 in November 1952 (c/n 17400) on EMD Order 5140, it became BN 6052 and was retired in August 1983. This was one of 12 lightweight SD7's built for the Burlington for use on branch lines that could not support heavier locomotives. Although heavier than a GP7, it distributed the weight across two more axles, thus presenting a lighter load per axle to the rails.

BN SD7 6053
Title:  BN SD7 6053
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad SD7 6053 at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in October 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built as CB&Q SD7 405 in November 1952 (c/n 17401) on EMD Order 5140, it became BN 6053 and was retired in August 1983. It has a CB&Q stainless steel model plate indicating that it is an SD9, and the frame is also stenciled SD9 at the rear. I believe this might be a shop error. It still has the class lights centered over the numberboards and mounted on access doors. To upgrade this unit to SD9 standards might indicate the changeout of the prime mover from a 567B to a 567C. I'm still investigating this anomaly.

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.
