CB&Q GP35 980
Title:  CB&Q GP35 980
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP35 980 at Clyde, Illinois on November 15, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in December 1963 (c/n 28302) on EMD Order 7668, it is one of four GP35's built on that order (978-981), which was for four GP30's. The order was upgraded to GP35's, with Burlington's GP35's having lower construction (serial) numbers that the GP35 demonstrators. It's possible there might have been some motivation for EMD to rush these four GP35's out the door, as the Q was in the process of ordering GE U25B's, their first non-EMD power in 20 years or so. This locomotive became BN 2526 and during December 1990 was rebuilt to GP39E 2938.
