Normally quiet Burlington Northern has adopted an unusually loud new paint scheme. The new colors, which at this writing have been applied to only a handful of units, feature a bold nose treatment. The roadname appears only on the long hood, and the unit numbers now will be on the sides of the cab. Here, GP50 No. 3118 shows off the new paint at Cicero, III., on June 29, 1985.

16 PROTOTYPE MODELER Paul Fries Ron Manwaring Union Pacific ran this special to commemorate the re-opening of the St. Louis Union Station. The date was Aug. 8, 1985. On the road, the train is seen pausing at Kirkwood, Mo., behind the UP's last E9 and a GP40X. The Geep was recently renumbered from 9003 to 93. Later, after the GP40X was removed, the train rests at St. Louis Union Station.

In August of 1985, UP ran several passenger specials. Among them was this shipper's special shown when modeling a GP40X or SDP35- here westbound on Sherman Hill near Buford, Wyo. Two of the recently renumbered GP40X's are in requires some plastic surgery. For the control under a perfect high plains sky. GP40X, the starting point can be ei­ ther an Athearn SD40-2 or SD45. Just don't forget those sharp, B-B hi-adhe­ sion trucks. The SDP35 can be bashed from Athearn's SDP40 without too much trouble. Paint and decals certainly won't be a concern. UP Armour Yellow and Har­ bor Mist Gray are readily available, and there are enough of Uncle Pete's decals on the market to letter several fleets of locomotives and cars. It should be noted here that Union Paci­ fic's newest paint scheme (for engines) has the trucks and underframe in gray. The silver of years past has been eliminated. As if to resurrect the lost trains of pre-1971 , Union Pacific still rolls plen­ ty of "passenger" miles.

It's a hot day, but photographer Bailey momentarily forgets the heat to record the idyllic scene.

Right: After completing its work at Bethel, Vt., the switcher accelerates its train out of town in a cloud of Schenectady smoke. Barely visible is the classic Bethel station. Also note the industrial complex in the distance. Below: The S4 handles bulkhead flatcars at the Sharon, Vt., lumberyard, amid the rolling Vermont greenery.

Right: Central Vermont gave up the roundhouse at White River Junction, so for a time, the old S4 was obliged to spend the night outside. Now, the switch run itself has been abolished, and the Alco finds itself in yard service.

Certain industries are served from a particular end of the train depending on how the trackage 89 ...... is arranged, To make the switching IV easier, no caboose is used. Once the train is assembled, in-town switching had to be done at P&C Foods and De­ cato Brothers Trucking. Usually by mid-morning the local would be ready to leave White River Junction. The first stop northbound was the lumber yard at Sharon. Since the switch faces south, the crew lias to run around the train and work it from the 12 rear, Bethel Mills Lumber was next, 132 just south of the town of Bethel. This industry could be switched from the Vermont front of the consist. Another stop was made in Bethel to serve Beacon Feed . If everything went as planned, they would reach Randolph by noon. Ethan Allen was switched, and then came lunch, Afterward was a direct run Vermont back to White River Junction, since all work had been done going north. Upon arrival at White River Junc­ tion it was necessary to block the cars into northbound and southbound to be lifted by Nos. 561 and 447, respective­ ly. The power would then be spotted in front of the station for the night. Typi­ cally, the unit would be deadheaded to St. Albans for servicing each weekend. An operation such as this offers much to the modeler. Having a local working part of the main can chal­ lenge the main line operators, Also, if you have been looking for an excuse to run your switchers on the main line, here's the prototype to justify it.

22 Left: When the White River local would switch the lumberyard al Sharon, a runaround move was required because of the track arrangement. Here, the S4 ne­ gotiates the siding so it can work its train from the rear. This type of switching adds variety to a model railroad operation, and the opportunity for it should be worked into a track plan if possible.

Prior to No. 8081 getting the job, the White River switch run was handled by a CV RS- 11. Here, No. 3611 leaves White River Junction under a typical plume of Alco ex­ haust. The 3611 is a 1956 Schenectady product, one of ten RS-11's owned by Cen­ tral Vermont.

The last item on the crew's list after returning to White River Junction was to set out the cars for Ihe mainline freights. At right, No. 8081 is placing a cut for northbound train No. 447 into the siding. This operation is an­ other which will find a welcome place on the model layout.

It was scrapped The Milwaukee Road has never been a stranger to this country's bankrupt­ cy courts, having found itself there in 1925, in 1935 and once again on Dec. 19, 1977, as CMStP&P filed for voluntary reorganization under sec­ tion 77 of the Federal Bankruptcy code. This occasioned the shutdown of some 4600 miles of MILW trackage on Feb. 25, 1980, as ordered by federal Judge Thomas McMillen. Many loco­ motives and freight cars were stored systemwide, including the GP30's . The truncated system chose to dispose of its older, less-reliable road and switching units, and the big, Aleo­ trucked, 2250-h.p. units were relegat­ ed to the scrap yard, well before many of their contemporaries were to suffer a similar fate.

The cost was $212,793 per unit. In 1960, WP GP20's Nos. 2007-2010 were received on an FT set trade-in. These ten locomotives, along with Great Northern 20's, were the only high-nose units of that model ever built. At the time, GP20's were the hottest item in motive power. Western Pacific was pleased with them, and most like­ ly would have ordered more, but the horsepower race was on. Their next or­ der was for EMD GP35's with the new low nose and 500 more horses. In the course of their service, GP20's were typically replaced with other orders of even higher horsepower units, and they became local and branchline pow­ er. Only one WP GP20, No. 2010, was ever rebuilt, and at the time of the Union Pacific absorption, all but one were placed in storage. They finally ended up dead at Salt Lake City in ear­ ly 1985, officially retired. Only the 2009 remained operable, working in Sacramento Northern service. It was repainted to Union Pacific No. 488. This unit failed in February of 1985 and it too joined the kin at Salt Lake City. The GP20's were first delivered in a classy livery of silver and orange, with black end stripes.

Near Ashland, Va., a northbound RF&P freight rolls along immaculate right-of-way F7A No. 1105 leads the parade, followed by two F7B units,

Here is a 1965 roster view of F7 1107 taken at Richmond, This unit was constructed by EMD in 1949, and was traded in for a GP40 in 1966.

RF8cP owned ten F7B units, almost unidentifiable, The roadname is absent and the number appears at the far left end of the lower side stripe, and on the end of the unit. This F7B, No. 1157, ended up on the Illinois Terminal after being retired by the RF&P,

Because of its extensive passenger-hauling duties, the RF&P rostered a fleet of 15 E8A units. Here is the 1006 at Richmond in 1965. It eventually became an Amtrak engine.

In contrast to the F7B's, the EBB's were easier to recognize. The road owned five of them, buill in 1949. All but one of the 2250-horsepower units were retired in 1965, on an SW1200 trade-in.

At Brooke, Va., RF&P GP35 No. 134 leads the combined Amtrak Palmetto/Carolinan southbound. This scene is unusual for two reasons. First, it shows an RF&P unit leading an Amtrak movement­ something which rarely occurred because the Amtrak engines were equipped with controls to accommodate the RF&P signals. Second, the 134 is an engine which typically faces north because it is even-numbered.
