Diesel Era 2003 May June
8 MotivePower, Inc. 2002 Locomotive ActivitiesNorman E. Anderson
In 2002, MPI began delivering all-new commuter locomotives to Chicago's Metra commuter agency that required new design concepts and systems -quite a feat for a company that in 1971 started in the locomotive overhaul and remanufacturing business.
22 Chicago & North Western SD5OsDiesel Era staff
The arrival of EMD SD5Os on C&NW in 1985 can be attributed to one commodity, Wyoming coal. Quickly surpassed by locomotive models with more horsepower and better traction control systems, the units still made their mark on the North Western.
35 Lehigh & Hudson River C-420sDiesel Era staff
A nine-unit fleet of these 2,000-horsepower road switchers kept L&HR competitive until the very end of the carrier's existence. But the C-420s' career didn't end with the railroad - they still had long lives ahead of them.
