  3. Classic Times

    Classic Times

    This photo shows a lot of history. You could look at the 87 year old Cascade Tunnel, or you could look at the old BN caboose that is entering the tunnel. This would be a typical scene only twenty years ago. This was a nice run in. A work train which is going to replace rails shoves into the tunnel.

    Burlington Northern Shop Switcher, West Burlington, Iowa, October 22, 1983, photo by Chuck Zeiler I don't know much about this particular shop switcher. I do know it was powered by plugging the extension cord (seen here coiled up) into a power source. I would suppose that the air tanks were...

    IC 6115 (ex-BN SD40-2)

    Like its ex-BN SD40-2 brothers (IC 6100 series), this unit was to be re-built into a SD40-3, however CN decided otherwise and simply gave it a new paint job. You can see the "CN touch" on the peeling frame safety stripe. Aside from BCOL units and WC SD40-3's, this is the most common...
