Viewing Album:  Yard switchers
 
By:TS _Illinois
Dates:7/12/1980 - 11/23/1989
Album Info:Seems I have a handful of photos of various yard switchers that don't necessarily fit into other albums. Figured I might as well collect them up in one spot. I'll add more as I get the scans cleaned up.

No records on this one
Title:  No records on this one
Description:  So in doing a little research on this old photo, I was a bit surprised to find that there dont seem to any other shots of this switcher from around this era. While the colors are clearly CB&Q, the barely visible number on the cab was its BN designation (though not to be confused with the later BN76 - ex SLSF SW7 301). By the time of this photo, however, it was no longer BN, but had been in service with Dundee Cement for nearly 10 years. It would continue on as such for some 8 years more before Dundee became Holcim Cement and this loco was re-designated GNAX 1. But while it was a Dundee workhorse, there are no records that I can find pertaining to reporting marks or locomotive number. Seems that for those 18 years it was just the Dundee switcher.

CRIP 416
Title:  CRIP 416
Description:  Probably cheating by putting this one in a switcher album. Dont know if Rock Island used these primarily for yard duty or what, though thats likely not what Alco intended. Abyway, gts a pretty cool loco so I included it. Here it is one of the hundreds of dead units awaiting their fate at Silvis.
