7EMD's Versatile GP9 - Part 17Diesel Era staff
In this installment of our series on EMD's GP9 model, we continue with our coverage of the National of Mexico and New Haven units.
19 Missouri Pacific SD40-2s - Part 2Diesel Era staff
In 1976, a major change came to MP's locomotive buying practices: heavily ballasted units equipped with dynamic brakes for the carrier's growing low-sulfur coal shipments from Wyoming's Powder River Basin.
39 Seaboard Coast Line SD45s - Part 1Diesel Era staff
While thought of as a "level" railroad, two divisions of the SCL needed the extra tractive effort offered by second-generation C-C-truck locomotives. To tame these grades, predecessor railroad Atlantic Coast Line turned to all three
major locomotive builders. Soon, EMD came out on top and SD45s were plying the rails of ACL, and later, SCL rails.
50 Chicago & North Western RS-32sStephen McMillan
Looking for economical horsepower, C&NW turned to secondhand Conrail units that began their careers on the New York Central. The 251-powered Alcos were a perfect fit for a railroad familiar with their maintenance and on a limited budget.
