Contents:
13EMD's Versatile GP9 - Part 16Diesel Era staff
In this installment of our series on EMD's GP9 model, we continue with our coverage of the Minneapolis & St. Louis and Mississippi Export units.
19Bessemer & Lake Erie - Part 2 Second-generation Diesels Diesel Era staff
In 1967, the first second-generation diesels arrived on B&LE rails. While not much more powerful than the units they worked alongside, the SD38s soon took over road assignments and became the core of the roster for more than 30 years. Today, rebuilt SD45T-2s handle the remaining traffic on this Canadian National subsidiary.
33Missouri Pacific SD40-2s - Part 1Diesel Era staff
For a railroad that embraced the four-axle, non-turbocharged road switcher as the standard diesel-electric locomotive to handle all its freight needs, the switch to six-axle, C-C truck locomotives in 1967 came as a radical change.
46 BNSF GE ES44C4 LocomotivesDiesel Era staff
The advantages of AC-drive locomotives over their DC-drive counterparts cannot be ignored, so this western railroad giant helped to design a locomotive that would be well-suited to supplement/replace its DC cousin in transcontinental intermodal service.
