CB&Q GP20 918
Title:  CB&Q GP20 918
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP20 918 at Clyde, Illinois on April 20, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built March 1961 (c/n 26589), it became BN 2054 and was retired August 1999. Also of interest is the second unit, EMD 462. It was a former C&NW F7, built as CStPM&O 6501A (c/n 8580) built December 1949, retired January 7, 1959, traded to EMD. This unit was rebuilt in May 1960 (new c/n 26158) and used as a test bed for the 645 series prime mover and other 40-series components. It tested extensively on the CB&Q, eventually being repainted in metallic blue and white. It was finally cut up at Pielet Bros. in 1998 after being held for some time. Offers were made to buy it, but no deal was ever made.
