| A pair of EMD four axle units sporting a fresh coat of H3 paint idle at BNSF North Yard in Fort Worth. Both locomotives were originally delivered to Chicago Burlington & Quincy, the leader in 1962 and the trailing unit in 1954. BNSF 2744 arrived as CB&Q GP30 959 in July 1962 and was sent to EMD by Burlington Northern for rebuilding returning as GP39E 2754. BNSF 1537 was delivered to CB&Q as GP9 281 in July 1954 and was sent to Morrison Knudsen for rebuilding returning as GP28M 1537. During rebuilding EMD made very little modification to the exterior of 2744 so other than the addition of an air conditioning pack on the cab roof, this locomotive still looks very much like a GP30. When 1537 was rebuilt into a GP28M the exterior of this locomotive was radically changed and looks nothing like a GP9. |
