The steam locomotive itself had undergone constant change and refinement. Prior to the late 1890's, the 4-4-0 or American type, had been dominant on the Burlington. A few 4-6-0's appeared in 1854-55, but not in any significant numbers until the 1890's. The first 2-8-0's entered service in 1879, the Mogul or 2-6-0 in 1888, a few 0-6.2 tank engines for suburban service in 1891, three 0-10-0's for pusher service at Plattsmouth in 1891, and a lone Columbia type or 2.4-2 in 1895. For many years the versatile American type handled yard duties as well main line and branch line trains. A single 0-4-0 switcher appeared in 1863 to be followed by others in the 1870's and 1880's. The 0-6-0 arrived in 1879 and eventually became the prevalent switch engine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eThe Golden Era of steam locomotive development may well have been the 1890's and early 1900's. A rash of new steam locomotive types appearing at this time radically altered the appearance of the Burlington's motive power roster. New wheel arrangements were the 4-4-2 Atlantic type in 1899, the 2-6-2 Prairie, a development of the road's own motive power department in 1900, followed by the Pacific 4-6-2 (1906), the 2-8-2 Mikado (1910) and the 2-10-2 Santa Fe (1912). Mallets of the 2-6-6-2 arrangement came in 1908 and a single 2-8-8-2 was built in 1911. There was a great interest in compounding at this time and Vauclain, Balanced and Cross-Compound types were tried in addition to the Mallets. It might be noted that during this period the Burlington experimented with a couple of gasoline powered motor cars as well as a steam car.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eTen years would pass before another new wheel arrangement appeared with the arrival of the Mountain type in 1922. In 1927, the first 2-10-4's arrived followed by 4-6-4 Hudsons and 4.8-4 Northerns in 1930. The last steam engine acquired was the 5635, a Northern of the 05A class, in October 1940.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eAlthough the mad had experimented with a gasoline motor car as early as 1898 and again in the early 1900's, it found them to be unsatisfactory.

Combining a McGuire-Cummings body and a Mack chassis with a 45-hp motor and utilizing a mechanical drive, it proved to be too small to be of real value. Much more successful that year was a gasoline driven motor car built by Buda-Edwards. Seven more were acquired between 1924 and 1926. In 1925, two gas-electrics were acquired. One came from the J.G. Brill Company of St. Louis, the other from Edwards-Porter. In rapid order cars were purchased from the Pullman Company and the St. Louis Car Company. By 1931, the Burlington proper was operating 57 gas-electric cars at a saving of 36.3% of the cost of the steam powered trains they replaced. At the time no other mad operated as extensive a fleet of gas-electric cars. The success of this equipment led to the scrapping of many small branch line steam engines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eThe first phase of replacement of steam switch engines also began in the late 1920's, with the purchase in 1929, of a gas-electric switcher built by Mack Trucks, Inc. This diminutive 170-hp unit featured a box cab with four drive wheels on a short 16-foot frame. It had very limited pulling capacity and was soon assigned to the Galesburg tie plant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eOf much greater significance were the results produced by center-cab switcher #111, a 280-hp two-truck gas-electric supplied by the Porter Locomotive Company in 1930. Placed in service at Crete, Nebraska it produced substantial savings over the cost of using a steam switcher: $21.06 vs $55.37 per day. Nearly as great savings were achieved in test runs in local freight service between Keokuk and Mt.

Electro-Motive Corp. entered the scene in 1937, with the 450-hp SW and 900-hp NW-1. A host of additional EMC\/EMD switchers in various classes were acquired in the ensuing years. Mw entered the scene in 1943, as did Baldwin, however Electro-Motive would dominate.

Conceived with a modest goal of providing service where a train had to be operated even though a profit might not be attainable, the train was enormously successful on the Lincoln-Omaha-Kansas City run for which it was designed. Business was so good that an additional car was added to the consist in June 1935, increasing the seating capacity from 72 to 112.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eWith the arrival of the Thin Zephyrs and Mark Twain Zephyr in 1935, the Denver Zephyr in 1936, the General Pershing Zephyr in 1939, and others, the diesel powered streamliner had established itself. The appearance of EMD's E5 passenger locomotives in 1940-41, with their elegant styling, added a new dimension to the growing Zephyr fleet. When the E7's arrived from 1945 to 1949, elimination of steam power from passenger trains accelerated. The E8 group of 1949-1953 and the E9's of 1954-1956, finished the job. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003e\"I came, I was seen, I conquered.\" This modification of often quoted words succinctly describes EMC's four-unit freight diesel demonstrator #103. After test runs of over 83,764 miles on twenty railroads there was no doubt about the capabilities of this \"four-section\" freight diesel. On the Burlington, it was tested over the Twin Cities line, on runs from Chicago (Morton Park) to Kansas City and made one round trip to Denver. On the westbound run it left Chicago at 11:00 AM on December 17, 1939, with Train #67 handling 3,990 tons consisting of 52 loads and 47 empties. It arrived in Denver at 1:48 AM on December 19th. Electro-Motive FT #103 returned east at 4:05 AM, the same day, with 3,831 tons. At the time of these test runs the Burlington was still building 4-8-4's at their West Burlington Shops. Despite the impressive operating statistics of the diesel demonstrator, Burlington management, content with its fleet of steam locomotives, did not opt for a purchase contract. Finally, when their rather modern fleet of 4-8-4's and 2-10-4's, supplemented by a host of 2.8-2's and other older power, could no longer handle the burden of World War II freight traffic, the War Production Board allocated sixteen four-unit FT's to the railroad. These became road numbers 100-115. Because of the grayish white paint applied to these locomotives they were quickly dubbed 'Graybacks\" by Burlington crews. During the 1946 to 1950 period, Electro-Motive Division F2, F3 and F7 models were acquired.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eGraybacks became the preferred motive power of most enginemen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eThe arrival of sixty-eight GP7's between 1951 and 1953, twenty GP9's in 1954, plus thirty-seven SD7's in 1952 and 1953, eighty SD9's in 1954, 1955 and 1957, essentially ended 77w Great Steam S7ww. The number of condemned steam locomotives reached as high as seventy-one in October 1953, and seventy-three in May 1954. By the summer of 1961, only 2-8-2 #4960 and 4-8-4 #5632 remained active and were used in excursion and railfan specials.

Intensive scrapping of old, small power began in 1926, when forty-six steam engines were retired. The years of 1927 through 1931, averaged 152 scrappings per year, culminating with 192 during 1933. Not until after World War 11 would there be wholesale retirements with the peak years being 1946 (113 engines), 1953 (131) and 1954 (159).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eThe advent of larger power, the gaselectrics and then severe economic conditions created the first era of scrapping. The second era was caused by the large purchases of diesel motive power. During the 1960's, early diesels began being retired as they were traded-in for more modern and powerful diesel locomotives. These new locomotives were referred to as \"second generation diesels\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eA side effect to the motive power changes on America's railroads after World War II was the sharp drop in circulation of at least two of the prominent railfan magazines. Railroad Magazine became a bimonthly in August 1945, and didn't resume monthly publication until October 1954, nine years later. Model Railroader began losing circulation in 1952, and did not recover its former level until 1967. Although published figures are not available, one might surmise that Trains Magazine and Railroad Model Craftsman also suffered during this period. The fans just lost interest for an extended period. For most railfans the only motive power they ever related to was shoved aside by these new diesels, which \"all looked alike\", so why even bother modeling or photographing them? Then a new generation came along which related to these shiny machines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eAll pictures are of the actual item.  If this is a railroad item, this material is obsolete and no longer in use by the railroad.  Please email with questions.
