ARR 1070
Title:  ARR 1070
Description:  Alaska Railroad caboose 1070 at Kansas City, Missouri on an unknown day in April 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This car was built by Pacific Car and Foundry Co. in March 1948 and placed in service April 1949. Those COTS stickers sure are annoying. Here's a quote from the book, Show Me Katy, by Michael A. Landis, referring to ARR 1070: Alaska Railroad caboose 1070 was a long way from home as she brings up the rear of a southbound freight on the main line through Mokane. The colorful crummy was one of three Katy leased from Alaska in the early 1980's to alleviate a shortage brought on by an increase in rail traffic. Being that the Alaska Railroad is isolated from the rest of the North American system, the cars had to be delivered via barge to Seattle.

BN GP9 1970
Title:  BN GP9 1970
Description:  BN GP9 1970 at Kansas City, Missouri on an unknown day in April 1980, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in July 1954 as Chicago Burlington & Quincy GP9 285 (c/n 19624), and became BN 1970, and later BNSF 1633. In this photo it still has evidence of a steam generator in the short hood, and also two filler ports on the frame at the location of the tanks. There was a Mars Light located above the headlight (removed by the BN), which explains the lower position of the headlight on this locomotive. And, it shows a few of the axle journal options.

Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad GP40 3008 at Kansas City, Missouri on an unknown day in April 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. For those wondering about the masking tape below the Engineer's front window, locomotive crews would often tape over that opening in the winter which was the fresh air intake for the cab heater, but also supplied copious amounts of cold air when this was the lead locomotive.

CB&Q XM-32B 18219
Title:  CB&Q XM-32B 18219
Description:  CB&Q class XM-32B 18219 at Kansas City, Missouri, April 1980, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This was one of 1,900 class XM-32B 40' boxcars built by CB&Q's Havleock, Nebraska shops during 1950, this particular one is stencilled as built HV. 11.50. When built it was equipped with a six foot corrugated door, but likely exchanged it for a seven panel door during shopping. It is stencilled as having visited Havelock again: HV 10.66. But, it has lost the roofwalk, note the cut down ladder on the right side, so it might have visited a shop sometime after roofwalks were outlawed. It is also stencilled: RETIRED DO NOT LOAD CW 11-77.

CR SD40-2 6377
Title:  CR SD40-2 6377
Description:  Conrail SD40-2 6377 at Kansas City, Missouri on an unknown day in April 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Full disclosure; I marked the slide as Minneapolis, Minnesota, and I think that is in error. I shot a lot of film in Kansas City in April 1980, as a result, I did not mark everything correctly, it appears. Plus the weather was poor in KC, so I believe this photo is KC. That would explain the MKT caboose on the left. Any help appreciated.

UP GP9m 340
Title:  UP GP9m 340
Description:  Union Pacific Railroad GP30 724 and GP9m 340 at Kansas City, Missouri on an unknown day in April 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 724 was built in March 1963 (c/n 28204), retired in April 1982 and sold for scrap. Number 340 was built in September 1957 (c/n 23696) and was retired April 2, 1981. It began as a normal 1750 hp GP9, but between 1962-65 the UP installed EMD turbochargers on 55 of its 300-series GP9's, creating 2000 hp GP9's, or, as they became known, Omaha GP20's. The Omaha GP20's also received large 2400 gallon fuel tanks and some were further modified with heaters in the tanks to allow them to use Bunker C fuel oil. Those locomotives were converted back to diesel fuel in the 1970's. However, as the conversion back to diesel was taking place, the UP was adding 2400 gallon tanks to some of the un-converted Omaha GP20's as well as to some of the un-turbocharged GP9's. So, while number 340 shows a larger fuel tank, it is unknown if it was ever converted to burn Bunker C fuel.
