UP GP40 660
Title:  UP GP40 660
Description:  Union Pacific Railroad GP40 660 on the last northbound UP train out of Cotter, Arkansas on December 11, 1992, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The next day the rails were leased to and operated by the Missouri & Northern Arransas Railroad. Number 660 was built in April 1967 as WP GP40 3511 (c/n 33056) on EMD Order 7981, became UP 660 on July 16, 1984, was retired by the UP April 5, 1993 and retured to the lessor. It was rebuilt by Morrison Knudsen, completed as a GP40-2 for the KCS and numbered 4774 on January 4, 1994.

The bridge was built in 1903, with the survey work and planning begun by the White River Railway, which was purchased by the Saint Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Railway on March 26, 1903. At the time, this location was known as Lake's Ferry, but the name was changed to Cotter, named after William Cotter, a manager on the Missouri Pacific Railroad. Both the StLIM&S and MP were interests of Jay Gould, and the purpose of the bridge and route was to connect the two properties. The Army Corps of Engineers determined that the White River was navigable, so a turn span was built to allow passage of river traffic, which all but disappeared after the arrival of the railroad. When the bridge was completed, the span was turned just once for testing, and never turned again. It may appear that there is plenty of room for river barges to pass below, but before the dam was built about ten miles upstream, spring floods would raise the river to within a few feet of the bottom of the bridge, flooding the railroad yard and roundhouse just a few hundred yards downstream.

UP GP40 660
Title:  UP GP40 660
Description:  Union Pacific Railroad GP40 660 at Cotter, Arkansas on December 11, 1992, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was the last revenue UP train out of Cotter, the next day the rails would belong to the Missouri & Northern Arkansas Railroad. The actual last UP train to leave Cotter was on the next track, a train of welded rail. The UP had busied itself stripping welded rail off the line before the M&NA took over. The gentlemen pictured ( left to right ) were: G. E. Flippin ( Engineer ), Roy Deckard ( Brakeman ), and Randy Smith ( Conductor ).

UP RS27 675
Title:  UP RS27 675
Description:  UP RS27 675 and 676 (1/2 of UP's RS27 fleet) at Valley, Nebraska on September 2, 1962, Kodachrome by Lou Schmitz, Chuck Zeiler collection. Alco built five RS27 (DL-640) demonstrators, numbered 640-1 through 640-5, which toured 22 railroads between January - April 1960. After the tour, three of the demonstrators were sent to the NYC for road tests, where they were assigned primarily to the Flexi-van trains. There they replaced normal motive power consists of 4-6 1800 hp units, and met tight schedules repeatedly. Track speeds of 70 mph were consistently maintained over 580 miles permitted over the 950 miles between New York City and Chicago, with an additional 130 miles at above 60 mph. Alco demonstrator numbers 640-2 through 640-5 were sold to the UP, becoming 675-678, the only RS27's on the UP. All were retired by late 1970 or early 1971, and these two were sold to the Montreal Locomotive Works, becoming the basis of a lease fleet.

UP RS27 675
Title:  UP RS27 675
Description:  UP RS27 675 at Council Bluffs, Iowa on an unknown day in January 1964, Kodachrome by unknown (probably Lou Schmitz), Chuck Zeiler collection.

Alco built this locomotive as the second of five demonstrators and assigned it road number 640-2 (DL-640 was Alco's specification for the RS27, the numeral was used as road numbers) in December 1959 (c/n 83556). It was powered by a 16-cylinder Model 251B prime mover coupled to a GT581 main generator, Type MG-8 power plant regulator, driving four GE 752 traction motors, producing 2400 horsepower. It featured an advanced (in 1959) transistorized control system, known as Type E, which utilized a GY27A1 auxiliary generator as the exciter.

The RS27 was an upgrade of the RS11, using the same basic frame, but packing a 16-cylinder diesel in place of the RS11's 12-cylinder diesel, resulting in the stubby appearance of the short hood as the cab was moved forward to make room. Alco built five DL-640/RS27 demonstrators, three of which conducted shakedown tests on the D&H before moving to the NYC for road tests. Although the demonstrators performed well on the NYC's high speed Flexi-Van trains, only one order resulted, and that was for a single unit to the Green Bay & Western. It took another year before the next order, and that was for four of the demonstrators (#'s 640-2 through 640-5), purchased by the UP in September 1961 and numbered 675-678. Alco demonstrator 640-1 was rebuilt to a Century 424 and sold to Pennsylvania Railroad as their 2415. After retirement on the UP in 1971, two of the former demonstrators (675 and 676) moved to Canada and formed the beginning of a lease fleet for MLW. The sales figures were not too impressive for the RS27; a total of 37 units were built in a production run of a little over one year. This was due to a number of factors, not the least was EMD's introduction of the GP30 and GE's new U25B, all available at about the same time. A personal observation, I have no evidence to back this up, but in researching this, I noted that Alco had really upset the UP with their FA1 model (all of UP's FA1's needed warranty repairs, 90 diesel engine blocks were replaced), and the RS27's were likely a peace offering. These four locomotives were orphans on UP's system. I think Alco recognized that they needed UP's business to survive, and probably gave the UP a good deal on these locomotives. After all, they were demonstrators, and had a lot of miles on them before getting UP paint.

UP RS27 677
Title:  UP RS27 677
Description:  Union Pacific Railroad RS27 677 at Council Bluffs, Iowa on an unknown day in September 1962, I'm pretty sure the photographer was Lou Schmitz (Kodachrome slide unmarked except for location and date), Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 677 was completeed in January 1960 as Alco Demonstrator 640-4, one of five RS27 (DL-640) demonstrators built and numbered 640-1 through 640-5. Including the five demonstrators, only 27 RS27's were built, directly competing with GE's U25B and EMD's GP30. The UP acquired four RS27 demonstrators in September 1961, and acquired four production U25B demonstrators at the same time. The railroad followed up with an order for 12 more U25B's, but did not order additional RS27's. This unit was wrecked November 23, 1968 at Aikens, Nebraska, and scrapped by the UP at Omaha.

UP GP30 733
Title:  UP GP30 733
Description:  Union Pacific Railroad GP30 733 at Marysville, Kansas on August 28, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The class lights are lit, so I'm guessing this is Train Extra 733 West. A few years earlier and the numberboards would have displayed X-733, or whatever the assigned train number was. Also seen is UP DD35 97B, an unknown GP30, and three stock cars at the head end of a departing freight.

UP GP30B 738B
Title:  UP GP30B 738B
Description:  UP GP30B 738B at Denver, Colorado on August 26, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in July 1963 (c/n 28253) on EMD Order 7649, this unit was equipped with a steam generator. The UP received a total of 40 GP30B's from EMD, the first 27 (road #'s 700B-726B) were freight-only units, the rest (road #'s 727B-739B) were equipped with steam generators for standby passenger service. Around the beginning of Amtrak the steam generators were retired in place. This particular unit was retired and sold for scrap to Naporano Iron & Metal, Newark, New Jersey, on May 5 1981. Leading the GP30B is one of the early production U25B's, UP 625, equipped with a high short hood.

Description:  Union Pacific Railroad E9 914 at Denver Union Station in Denver, Colorado on August 26, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Unfortunately, I did not record this train's number, so my best guess (consulting the June 1965 Official Guide) is that this was unnamed Train 6-8, originating in Los Angeles and continuing on to Chicago. I have several photos of this same train, one shows the locomotives being fueled at the station platform, so it was a through train. The lighting suggests that this was a morning departure from Denver, and Train 6-8 departed Denver at 10:15 AM.

Title:  UP E9 914
Description:  UP E9 914 at Denver Union Station on August 26, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Possibly the last E9A unit built, this locomotive was completed by EMD in January 1964 (c/n 28669) on EMD Order 7689. It was retired by the UP in May 1971 and sold to Amtrak, becoming AMTK 419. It was retired by Amtrak in 1980, sold to Precision National Corporation in June 1981 and scrapped. The job of the gentleman pictured on this day was to drive a truck of diesel fuel onto the passenger platform at Denver Union Station and refuel these locomotives. The front of this locomotive sure has been pelted.

Title:  UP E8 931
Description:  UP E8 931 on Train Number 7 at Grand Island, Nebraska on an unknown day in April 1961, Kodachrome by Dick Rumbolz, Chuck Zeiler collection. The are a lot of presumptions about this photo, since the slide is labeled UP 931 G. I. 4-61. From the handwriting I assumed the author was Dick Rumbolz, I assumed G. I. was Grand Island. If anyone knows better, leave a Comment and I will correct the caption information.

According to the June 1965 edition of the Official Guide, Train Number 7-5 was a Chicago to Los Angeles unnamed daily train, departing Chicago at 7:05 PM as Milwaukee Road Train 19 to Omaha, becoming Number 7 from Omaha to Ogden, then Number 5 to Los Angeles. In addition to the head end business, it also had sleeping cars and unreserved seat coaches and offered Buffet-Lounge service between Green River and Las Vegas.

Description:  Union Pacific Railroad E9 951 on the south leads to Union Station in Chicago, Illinois on October 17, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This power would normally be on the Milwaukee Road ( north ) side of Union Station. Perhaps there was track problems on the Milwaukee on this date. Number 951 went to the UP Heritage Fleet, but when pictured here it still had two prime movers as EMD intended. It has since been fitted with a single 16-645E, making it ( effectively ) a GP38-2.
