BN Shop Switcher
Title:  BN Shop Switcher
Description:  Burlington Northern Shop Switcher at West Burlington, Iowa on October 22, 1983, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This shows the other side of the shop switcher, I'm not sure if this was the Engineer's side or the Conductor's side. It was powered by an extension cord (not seen in this view) which could be plugged at various locations around the shop.

BN Shop Switcher
Title:  BN Shop Switcher
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad Shop Switcher at West Burlington, Iowa on October 22, 1983, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is pretty self-explanatory except for the charging of the air tanks. The BN modified an EMD SD-series truck to move dead locomotives around the shop. By plugging into a convenient DC outlet (note the coiled extension cord) the switcher could move a locomotive from one location to another within the range of the power cable. How did I get this photo, you might ask? I was attending the Burlington Route Historical Society's Meeting in Burlington, and this tour of the West Burlington Shops was part of the package.

BNSF 132 grabs cars in NTW
Title:  BNSF 132 grabs cars in NTW
Description:  As I crossed the St. Anthony Parkway bridge eastward, I grabbed this shot of BNSF 132 (and another loco behind it/under the bridge), which had coupled to this cut of cars. This was just east of the stored power at NTW, including this yard slug (BN 71), which I saw on hump duty recently.
