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 |
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 |
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. |

C&NW RS27 930 |

Chicago & North Western Railway RS27 900 at Fremont, Nebraska on June 10, 1962, Kodachrome by Lou Schmitz, Chuck Zeiler collection. Photographs of C&NW's four RS27's (#'s 900-903) are relauively rare, they only lasted around four years (1962-66) before being traded back to Alco for C425's. Alco repainted the returned RS27's and put them in their own lease fleet, leasing them hut during 1967-68, finally selling all four units to Precision National. Number 900 was sold by PNC to Peabody Coal, retaining the C&NW road number. |

PRR 2278, EF-25, 1965 |
Description: |
WIL-ALT-65. Here is an original photo that I took during a trip on Pennsylvania Railroad passenger trains from Wilmington to Altoona during August of 1965. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #2278, #2403, #2425, and another unit whose number is not recorded. #2278 is an EF-25 built by EMD in 1965 and rated at 2,250 horsepower. #2403 is an AF-24 built by the American Locomotive Company in 1962 and rated at 2,400 horsepower. #2425 is an AF-25 built by the American Locomotive Company in 1965 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. They are passing through the Altoona Passenger Station with a mixed-cargo freight train on their way to Enola and points East. Also visible (L to R) are two of the original PRR 12th Street Car Shop buildings and the PRR Test Plant building. |
