CB&Q GP35 978 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP35 978 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on April 8, 1966,Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was the Burlington's first GP35, built in December 1963 (c/n 28300) on EMD Order 7668 for four GP35's (road numbers 978-981). It became BN 2524, and in December 1990 it was rebuilt to GP39E 2913. Trailing is GP35 993 (c/n 29283), which became BN 2539, retired August 1986. An interesting bit of trivial information: the last GP30 delivered to the Burlington was the previous construction (serial) number to this locomotive, and the first EMD GP35 demonstrator was 20 units later, suggesting that perhaps EMD was in a hurry to get the first GP35's in the hands of the CB&Q. The folks at EMD may have heard that the Q was in the process of ordering their first non-EMD diesels in almost 20 years, an order for six GE U25B's. The horsepower of the Model 567D3A prime mover was increased from 2250 to 2500 by increasing the RPM from a maximum of 835 to 900. |

CB&Q GP35 980 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP35 980 at Clyde, Illinois on November 15, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in December 1963 (c/n 28302) on EMD Order 7668, it is one of four GP35's built on that order (978-981), which was for four GP30's. The order was upgraded to GP35's, with Burlington's GP35's having lower construction (serial) numbers that the GP35 demonstrators. It's possible there might have been some motivation for EMD to rush these four GP35's out the door, as the Q was in the process of ordering GE U25B's, their first non-EMD power in 20 years or so. This locomotive became BN 2526 and during December 1990 was rebuilt to GP39E 2938. |

CB&Q GP35 981 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP35 981 westbound at Naperville, Illinois on August 7, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in December 1963 (c/n 28303) on EMD Order 7668 which originally was an order for GP30's, instead four GP35's were deliverd to the CB&Q. Apparently, EMD was in a hurry to get a 2500 horsepower locomotive in the field to compete with GE's U25B, and produced an extra 250 hp by cranking up the RPM's of the Model 567D3A prime mover. This particular GP35 became BN 2527 and was retired in March 1987. |

run thru power |
| Description: |
Between the interlocking towers of St Anthony on the west end of the 4 track GN main and St Anthony Park on the double track NP main (not to be confused with Park Jct and the Minnesota Transfer crossing)--- I felt lucky to catch this set of run thru power on the Union Cutoff. As to why this transfer from Daytons Bluff came up the NP and then went thru the Union Cutoff at St Anthony Park instead of coming west on the GN freight mains from Westminster Tower is beyond me! So where was St Anthony Park and the Union Cutoff you ask?! Just west of the state fair grounds and Snelling Avenue where the circus trains used to unload and maybe still do today. |

Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP35 984 westbound at Steward, Illinois on December 23, 1964, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in April 1964 (c/n 29280) on EMD Order 7111, it became BN 2530 and was rebuilt to GP39M 2882. It is seen here leading another GP35, a GP30, and an SD24 on Train 97, the daily Saint Paul Merchandise, scheduled to depart Cicero at 10:30 AM. I was a passenger on the Oregon Way Freight which was a mixed train accommodating passengers in combine # 3003. The way freight was setting out (seen on the far right) and 97 overtook us. However, the way freight would overtake 97 at Rochelle while 97 attened to its setouts, and 97 would overtake the way freight again in Rochelle as the way freight attended to its own setouts. |
