First aid kit is in the cab. On CP the green + indicates where the stretcher is located.

That's what is.

Another consideration is the NKP did not have a direct connection with any western roads in the Chicago Terminal except the Rock Island at Pullman Jct. EL had the same problem. Both were dependent on the BRC.

CP runs 27 lb brk cyl pressure on their four axle units. They use a composition brake shoe about the same length as the old passenger car shoe. It gives decent stopping power and one has to work at sliding wheels. D&H runs 72 lb brk cyl on their (single shoe) four axle units. Soo runs 38 lbs on ...

They go all the way east to Rondout. I believe a flashing red has replaced lunar on signals installed the past couple of years.

Maybe not. For example, the Rock Island 27 pin jumper was wired different for Push/Pull service and the HEP units had a second MU receptacle on the lower rear end. The standard MU receptacle was located over the rear eng room door. When the cab cars were not available the unit replacing them was not...

One was used as the hump engine at Ft Wayne in the late '50's-early '60's.

The cab and short hood were badly damaged, when the crew ran into a cut of cars at Marseilles, IL during a back up move. Head brakeman instead of jumping went up into the cab to operate the left side emergency brake valve and was killed. Happened in 1965 IIRC. It is a GP20 cab and short hood kit tha...

Yes Short Line Jct, which is just beyond the west end of the Short Line Yard is the same basic place.

It was kind of an ironic situation. In the 1977-78 era we had lots of foreign power for the Powder River Basin coal trains. We had lots of trouble with all the other roads GE (U 30C, C 307) units, except for the Milwaukee's. We had no trouble with the other roads SD40-2 units, except for the Milwauk...

Rock Island owned the flats. Also one or two TOFC cars on 11-12 (night Peoria) in '66.

Manual transition (EMD units) was phased out on the F-7. They came equipped with a toggle switch in the left electrical cabinet on engine room side of fireman side cab (over the shunt field contactor) door, where you could set that unit in manual or auto. Transition levers to operate trailing manual...

A lot of the C-415 problems were not necessarily related the the 251 as much as design goofs: The main generator was located at the front of the forward hood, the high voltage cabinet was located at the rear of the cab. the railroads didn't like this when Baldwin did it... The radiators were at the ...
