The Oakway SD6Os only stood out because of their colorful paint scheme, but also drew close scrutiny from Burlington Northern's labor unions.
24 Santa Fe's EMD SD39s
For railroads not needing the extra horsepower to move freight trains at higher speeds, EMD offered the turbocharged SD39. With 12-cylinder prime movers rated at 2,300 horsepower, Santa Fe felt that these units were ideal for mineral trains and secondary trains operating at higher altitudes.
43 Chesapeake & Ohio EMD GP3Os
For C&O, the acquisition of GP3Os in 1962 represented its first investment in second-generation diesels. Using obsolete BL-2s and E7s, as well as wrecked F7s and GP9s as trade-ins, the carrier acquired a fleet of 48 units that spent a majority of its time on the northern end of the system.
Former Cotton Belt 822, now 3812 after rebuilding in 1976, is shown at Olivette, Mo., on March 21, 1982. As built, the unit featured 48-inch cooling fans; after rebuilding, pairs of 36-inch fans appear on the rooftop - were hoods swapped during rebuilding, or were older fans applied to this and other SSW rebuilds?
