BN C415 4010 |
| Description: |
Burlington Northern Railroad C415 4010 at Clyde, Illinois, on an unknown day in November 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in November 1968 (c/n 6009-01) as Spokane Portland & Seattle 100, it was one of two owned by the SP&S (the other being SP&S 101, later BN 4011), both retired in October 1980. These two units turned out to be among the last five C415's built. The SP&S had four additional C415's on order, but those were cancelled when Alco exited the locomotive building business in early 1969. The two SP&S C415's moved on to work at Ohio River Terminals in Huntingon, WV. This is the rear view. |

BN C415 4010 |
| Description: |
Burlington Northern Railroad C415 4010 at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in November 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Builw in November 1968 as SP&S 100 (c/n 6009-01), it was one of only two SP&S C415's, and the only two on BN's roster as well. More C415's were ordered by the SP&S- but Alco ceased the locomotive buklding business before completing the order. This one was retired from the BN in October 1980, so it is seen here in its firqt month of retirement. |

Burlington Northern Railroad GP30 2246 and a friendly employee at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in January 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Also seen are two unmarked GP38-2's, fresh from EMD, to be delivered by the BN. Although there were no markings, the build date and color match Curtis Milburn & Eastern (CMER), so I listed the 818 as such. |

| Description: |
Burlington Northern Railroad 577555 at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in January 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The poor framing and lighting change mid-scan is the result of trying to get 37 frames out of a 36 exposure roll of film. It's possible if I pry the slide mount open I might find the rest of the car, but I chose not to disturb the mount. |

BN SD9 6138 |
| Description: |
Burlington Northern Railroad SD9 6138 at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in January 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in March 1954 as CB&Q SD9 336 (c/n 18995) on EMD Order 5313, it became BN 6138 and was retired in April 1983. There is an interesting story written by Grant V. W. Roth (one of the early designers) about the development of the Mars light in the November 1990 issue of Mainline Modeler Magazine. Briefly, the concept of the oscillating warning light was the idea of a Chicago fireman, Jerry Kennelly, who around 1919 manually wiggled a spotlight on his fire truck to attract the attention of motorists to get them to move out of the way. Later he added a windshield motor to move the spotlight. After some experimentation with the light mounted on a confiscated Al Capone "whiskey running" Packard Eight Sedan owned by the Village of Oak Park (Mr. Kennelly was now an Oak Park Motorcycle Patrolman), a prototype was built and displayed at an AAR show, attracting the attention of Charles Longham, the Safety Officer of the C&NW. Another prototype was built and installed on a C&NW 4-6-2 (#2908), but was destroyed due to excess vibration. By 1936 more tests were run, this time in Proviso Yard at night, but the tests were soon curtailed due to backed up traffic by curious motorists wondering about the strange blue light (originally, a blue lens was used). During road tests, a large bird struck the light, and a clear lens was obtained at a Milwaukee paint shop. Officer Kennelly met Frank Mars (of Mars Candy Company) after a near-fatal shooting as the officer pursued bank robbers in Oak Park, wounding him in the jaw and causing hearing loss on his left side, and resulting in his retirement and a disability pension. Samples were produced in the Mars Candy Company's machine shop, and Mr. Kennelly applied for a patent for his figure 8 moving beam warning light, and assigned the design to Mars Light Company. |
