BN SDP45 6595
Title:  BN SDP45 6595
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad SDP45 6595 and SD7 6054 at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in May 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. And now, a rant. I've cleaned up my language for sensitive viewers. Of all of EMD's poor designs, including the BL2, I think this unfortunate notch in the short hood of 6595 for the hand brake is the winner. How difficult would it have been to put a piece of sheet metal in the front to complete the facade and protect the hand brake from the elements. This had to be one of those Friday afternoon designs where the draftsman was concerned about going home for the weekend and took shortcuts to complete the job. End of rant.

BN SD7 6055
Title:  BN SD7 6055
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad SD7 6055 at Clyde, Illinois on July 4, 1982, Kodachrome by Gib Allbach, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built as CB&Q SD7 407 in December 1952 (c/n 17403) on EMD Order 5140, it became BN 6055 and was retired in March 1983. A minor spotting note: apparently during routine maintenance someone replaced the front running board light and put the cover on upside down, or got one from another unit. Note the diagonal stripe mismatch.

BN SD7 6059
Title:  BN SD7 6059
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad SD7 6059 at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in October 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built as CB&Q SD7 411 in December 1952 (c/n 17407) on EMD Order 5140, it became BN 6059 and was retired in August 1983. This particular unit picked up an extra electrical receptacle at the top of the short hood next to the class light. Here is the explanation, from former CB&Q electrician and later BN Diesel Superintendent Wesley Haas (by way of Hol Wagner): This is the 64 volt receptacle for the Lincoln Rotary, to run control circuits and anything that required the 64 volt power for the plow. The plow had a small diesel engine to supply 110 volts for interior lighting.
