BN 1586
Title:  BN 1586
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad GP7 1586 at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was the Vapor (brand name) standby heater enclosure applied to most CB&Q GP7's and GP9's, in this case, ex-CB&Q GP7 230. Inside was a diesel fueled water heater. The exhaust stack, removed by this date, and was positioned against the `ar body to the roof line. An electrical receptacle is to the right of the lower latch. The idea was to be able to shut down the diesel prime mover in cold weather and use the heater to heat and circulate the cooling water to prevent freezing. Two problems surfaced from this idea; starting the prime mover was difficult with cold batteries, and the locomotive needed to be spotted near an electical outlet.

Title:  BN F45 6606
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad F45 6606 and GP7 1589 at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in August 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The UP power seen in the background was along for the ride. The two SD40-2's had been picked up fresh from EMD at Congress Park and were being delivered to the UP, I suppose either at Council Bluffs or Omaha. Note orange funnel at the base of the sand tower, used for filling the F45's front sand bins.

BN F45 6606
Title:  BN F45 6606
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad F45 6606 and GP7 1589 at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in August 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 6606 was getting sand, and a portion of that sand is going to the ground. The BN had provided a funnel to prevent this sort of thing, but the funnel suffered from a fatal design flaw; in order for the funnel to work properly, one had to actually use the funnel. This meant climbing down off the locomotive, retrieving the funnel, climbing back on the locomotive with funnel in hand, and placing the funnel in the fill hatch. As seen, that step was skipped. I'll bet these guys were screwing with the new guy.

Description:  BN GP7 1604 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in May 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This shows former CB&Q 248 in almost original conditrion. The steam generator appears to be still in place, complete with the caps fabricated by the Q to keep the elements out. The Mars lights (both ends) are still in place as are the water tanks and model plates. Also seen is the Vapor standby heater, just behind the cab, although the exhaust stack is missing.

BN GP7 1614
Title:  BN GP7 1614
Description:  BN GP7 1614 at Rochelle, Illinois on an unknown day in October 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Note the unusual short hood arrangement. The typical ex-CB&Q GP7 would have a lower than usual headlight, as the Mars light was mounted above, where this headlight is now located. Also note an extra set of grab irons on the Fireman's (Conductor's) side of the short hood, unfortunately lacking the grab above the numberboard and one more on the roof, rendering them next to useless. Repair work maybe.
