letter size, 100 pages, adhesive binding
Cover Painting Two big Alco Century 636's move a freight eastward along the Columbia River's north bank on former SP&S trackage. The original of this painting by noted railroad artist Howard Fogg measures only 8x11 inches, was executed specifically for the 1972 BN Annual and is now in the collection of Ronald C. Hill. Contents 2 Motive Power Changes, 1971-1972 10 The Faces of Burlington Northern 12 The Beef Express and Pacific Zip 17 Freight Car Anomalies 18 Feature Model: The Century 636 (4360-4369 drawings for modelers) 25 5660: Red, Wrecked and Rehabilitated 26 Leased Power 30 BN: The People Mover 51 Roster of BN Passenger Cars 59 Yesterday and Tomorrow of Passenger Service 60 Oddball E's 61 9950: Oddest of the Odd 63 Roster of BN Locomotives 100 Assignment of BN Locomotives, 9/1/72 | Editor's Note This is our second year and Burlington Northern's third; both appear to be meeting with success thus far. BN was recently chronicled in Fortune magazine as the only successful large-scale railroad merger of the past decade, and response to our first BN Annual has been extremely gratifying. This year our name has been changed to reflect a change in em-phasis of the publication. The words Motive Power have been dropped from the title, and, due to numerous requests, we have expanded coverage to other types of equipment, to wit, this year's feature article beginning on page 30 and the freight car featurette on page 17. Our primary emphasis, however, will continue to be placed on BN's ever-changing motive power fleet. Articles already in preparation for future issues include coverage of cabooses, business cars, rotary snowplows, iron ore operations and Chicago area commuter service. Feature locomotive models upcoming include GE's U23C U30C U33C line and EMD's SW1. Photographs and data for these articles will be welcomed. Again this year we owe a debt of thanks to the many individuals who have contributed the time, information and photographs which make the 1972 Annual possible. Foremost among these is BN's own public relations department, under the able direction of Al Rung. Others who have made their contribution include: Gib Allbach, Keith and Kenneth Ardinger, Peter Arnold, Ted Benson, Larry Bischoff, Thomas F. Chenoweth, Dave G. Chornell, George R. Cockle, Bernard G. Corbin, Richard Crescitelli, Douglas E. Cummings, George H. Drury, Keith Enget, Ed A. Fulcomer, Mike Gelhaus, Bryan Griebenow, Frank and Paul Guernsey, Elmer K. Hall, Robert R. Harmen, A. T. Hennek, Robert H. Heuerman, Keith W. Hill, Ronald C. Hill, Jerrold F. Hilton, J. David Ingles, Clayton F. Jones, Edward L. Kanak, Timothy J. Kilroy, William S. Kuba, John H. Kuehl, Robert Lehman, Ronald E. Lutz, Mark Lynn, Laurence Mack, Bruce A. Notman, Vincent J. Porreca, Gerald J. Quinn, William A. Raia, Karl F. Rasmussen, Jerome A. Rosenfeld, Richard L. Schmeling, Harry Schimm, Don Schneider, Richard Steinbrenner, Thomas J. Strauss, Rod Stroud, Nick Thoralson, Garth L. Tyckoson, Richard Vartabedian, David P. Wag-ner, Richard R. Wallin, Fred Ziebe, Bruce D. Barrett, Tom Baukus, Carol L. Ingles and Larry G. Russell. For those interested in additional sources of information along the lines of that provided by this annual, we heartily recommend the following organizations and publications: Extra 2200 South The Locomotive Newsmagazine (Box 41417 Cincinnati, OH 45241), GN-NP Technical Society (1025 Third Ave. New York, NY 10021), SP&S Dope Bucket SP&S Technical Society (95 Smull Ave., West Caldwell, NJ 07006) Finally, in answer to numerous inquiries, Motive Power Services has begun preparation of a Union Pacific Motive Power Annual, but no date of publication has as yet been established.

Cover Painting Noted railroad artist Howard Fogg painted this scene for BN's 1970 Christmas card; it depicts three F45's on a hotshot freight high in the Montano Rockies. On the opposite page appear Howard's rough pencil sketch and preliminary water color, both of which feature SD45's rather than the F45's selected for the final version. The original painting now hangs in the BN general offices in St. Paul. Contents 3 Burlington Northern: The Name, The Emblem, The Color 6 Metamorphosis of an E8 8 SD45's 10 Feature Model: The F45 (6614-6625 drawings for modelers) 15 F9's in Action 17 Montana in Winter 18 Leased Power 18 26 The SD45X: EMD 4201-4203 and 5740 28 Coal by the Trainload 40 The "DOT U-Boat" 41 Burlington Northern Locomotives: March 2, 1970 to March 2, 1971 44 The Roster | Editor's Note This is the first issue of what will hopefully become a yearly publication. For our inspiration, we at Motive Power Services are indebted to Joe Strapac and Chatham Publishing Company, whose Southern Pacific Motive Power Annual has been the sole publication of this type for the past five years. Depending on public reaction and response, future issues may be expanded to include facets of the BN other than just motive power. It interest warrants, features on passenger, freight and company service equipment will also be included, and more scale drawings can also be featured. The editor and the other partners in MPS are eternally grateful to the many people who have helped to bring this annual to fruition Our very special thanks to Albert M. Rung, Vice Presi-dent of Public Relations and Advertising for Burlington Northern, for all his cooperation and assistance and for allowing use of the cover painting by Howard Fogg. In addition, thanks are due Howard himself for letting us reproduce his pencil sketch and preliminary water color, something seldom seen in a publication of this sort. Without the assistance of devoted BN fans J. David Ingles and Richard R. Wallin, the information herein would be far from complete. And finally, our thanks to the many people who have so graciously provided the photographs which make this annual what it is: Roger Burrows, Tom H. Chenoweth, David Chornell, George R. Cockle, Bernard G Corbin, Richard Crescitelli, Doug Cummings, Ed A. Fulcomer, Frank W. Guernsey, Robert R. Harmen, Keith W. Hill, Ronald C. Hill, Jack M. Hoist, Clayton F. Jones, Edward L.

Brotherton, who went "railroading" as a brakeman, conductor and trainmaster for the Burlington Northern Railroad system during the 1979-1982 period. Through his many interesting short stories, Brotherton illustrates what it was like to work for a major railroad company before branch lines, vintage diesel locomotives and cabooses were phased out. His accounts show what has changed within the railroad industry since then−and what has not. Brotherton, who grew up around trains in Georgia, takes the reader along on his personal encounter with a railroader's life in North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota and Colorado. |

GN & BN Nelson Line in British Columbia
Railways of Western Canada Series Volume 5, Railways of the West Kootenay part 3
- Red Mountain Ry. -- Nelson & Fort Shepperd Ry. -- Spokane Falls & Northern Ry. -- Great Northern Ry. -- Burlington Northern Rd. -
copyright 1988 by Gerry & Corwin Doeksen, letter size, 48 pages, saddle stitch
Introduction
Volume 5 depicts the operations of the Great Northern Railway and the Burlington Northern Railroad in British Columbia. The small railroad map, timetables and schedules include all of the operations in B.C.. However, in volume 5 the emphasis is on the West Kootenay. Operations of the Spokane Falls and Northern Railway, Nelson and Fort Sheppard Railway and the Red Mountain Railway are included. Many of the steam and early diesel engines served on all of the B.C. branchlines.
The S.F.& N.R. was chartered in 1888 and construction came to 15 miles of the Canadian border by 1889. Daniel Chase Corbin, the builder, eventually managed to obtain a charter in Canada and the N.& F.S.R. to Nelson was completed by December of 1893. During 1895/96 he built the Columbia and Red Mountain Railway from Northport to Paterson at the International border and the Red Mountain Railway further to Rossland. In 1898, the same year the Canadian Pacific Railway bought most of the assets of the Columbia and Western Railway to Trail and Rossland, the Great Northern Railway bought up stocks of the Spokane Falls and Northern Railway. By 1905 the G.N.R. built a line into the Grand Forks smelter and into the Pheonix mines. By 1907 the SF&N. Division was dissolved as a subsidiary. By 1921 the Rossland line was abandoned. Today the Nelson line is still serviced by two weekly return trips out of Kettle Falls. Only the first trip goes through to Nelson.
Between Waneta and Nelson, there are at least 34 bridges and trestles. The siding rail at South Nelson is 66 pounds per yard made in 1893. A lot of rail still in use is 77, 80 and 90 lbs. per yard. Rail from Salmo to Troup is 110 lbs. and the oldest ties are from 1949. Rail from Columbia Gardens to Fruitvale is 132 lbs. and the oldest ties are from 1954. Also all of the rail on the line appears to be relay rail taken from other G.N.R. locations. Original rail was 56 lbs. per yard.
We would like to acknowledge the encouraging help received from our friends. We will mention in particular Norman C. Keyes Jr., Ron Nixon, Richard L. Meyer and others of the Great Northern Railway Historical Society for the photos and diagrams included.

LARSON Will it dominate the next 50 years? 155 Worth Reading 158 End Marker 160 | EDITOR'S SEATBOX This millennium special edition of Railroad History is devoted to the "machine that saved the railroads." The switch from smoke and reciprocating rods to oil and diesel-electric traction amounted to the greatest change in railroading in the twentieth century. Yet despite the importance and inherent drama of the subject, much of the writing about the diesel has been narrowly technical or submerged in elegiac accounts of the demise of steam power. As Maury Klein points out, the context of dieselization has been neglected. The aim of the following pages is to bring out the context by bringing together leading scholars and experts from various fields. Most of the articles here originated from a symposium held at the John W. Barriger III National Railroad Library on April 23-24, 1999, "Railroad Revolution: How the Diesel Locomotive Changed America." The symposium was conducted at the new home of the Barriger Library at the St. Louis Mercantile Library at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Papers from the symposium have been edited, amplified, and supplemented with source documents, photographs, and extensive bibliographic references, mostly centering on the pivotal years of 1930-1960. Many people have helped make this issue possible. They include Gregory P. Ames, curator of the Barriger Library; John N. Hoover, director of the St. Louis Mercantile Library at the University of Missouri-St. Louis; and John P. Mulderig, a financial analyst at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. In addition, the issue has benefitted greatly from the talents of R&LHS members John Gruber and J. Parker Lamb, whose contributions are highlighted in two special photo inserts. I would further like to thank Cornelius W. Hauck, William F. Howes, Jr., and James L. Larson−plus the crack production team of Dian Post and Carolina R. Lofgren−for their support and hard work. This "extra run" of RRH marks the 79th year of publication of a journal that began before the first diesel locomotive, Jersey Central No. 1000, trundled forth on the Hudson River docks in 1925. Our next regular issue, No. 182, will appear, per timecard, in July. |

Since it is often difficult to stop in the middle of traffic to pop out of the car and shoot a few frames most of us are forced to do without accurate information or settle for the small scattering of photos in the model press from time to time. The cars pictured in these pages are almost all ones that were part of consists of general merchandise trains with the exception of a few pictures from unit coal and auto rack trains. This series is dedicated to all four of my grandparents. Over the years they all at different times provided ongoing support and encouragement in the hobby as well as prototype aspects of my interests in railroads. They did things and made sure I had the opportunity to go places to see things that would not be considered mainstream activities to insure the flames did not go out even when it did not make sense to them.

Acknowledgments To all the Burlington employees who created the original diagram books, which made this book possible. To Hol Wagner who provided me with more diagrams and photos than I originally had acquired over the past 30+ years. To all the people and or organizations listed below that provided photos. R. W. Buhrmaster/ Lou Schmitz/ John C. La Rue/ Richard Rumbolz/ Nebraska State Historical Society/ Bernard Corbin/ Alfred Holck/ Joe Legner/ Kai Solvei/ William Raia/ Pullman Co. Smithsonian Institute/ Bruce Fales/ Burlington Historical Society/ Rod Masterson/ Al Hoffman and to Ray Bedard who helped proofread this book. | Forward I became interested in Burlington passenger cars when I saw the "BLACKHAWK" name on the letter board of Burlington's name trains. This train also had a great graphic sign on the last car with the "BLACKHAWK" Indian and his name. I have always felt the Indians were not always fairly dealt with by our government. This is why I like the fact that the Burlington Railroad chose to name one of their name passenger trains after him, and that is one of the reasons I wanted to model this train. I have also modeled the business car "BLACKHAWK" which is how I got into this book. I have chosen to dedicate this book to "BLACKHAWK". I do not own any of the china that was used on this name train or business car as it has become very expensive. The dining car china has the "BLACKHAWK" Indian on the dinner plate and the water pitcher. The other name trains that also had china representing that train's name are "AKSARBEN" and "ARISTOCRAT". This book starts out with business car 67 of which there were two (a first and second). See Roster for list of business cars, at the end of the Business Car section of this book. I have only included photos that I had access to. You will find references to the Burlington Bulletins that have both photos and the history of each car. I am not a historian, so I left that up to Hol Wagner. I have used the title "business car" as most diagrams used that reference. These cars were also referred to as "office cars". In a few instances I used the name on the diagram, which was "special car". I have laid out this book in numerical sequence to make it easy to find each car. Some cars had revisions over time which I have tried to show in dated sequence. Most of my drawings were made from the CB&Q diagram book with the addition of details obtained from photos. Some of the CB&Q dia-grams were drawn just to show minimal detail. For example, some of the windows were drawn just as a rectangle. Therefore, I have tried to give more detail, and to show both sides and the roof which a modeler would need to make these cars. |
