| Description: |
EJ&E DT-6-6-2000 704 at Joliet, Illinois on February 13, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 704 was built in March 1948 as EJ&E 104 (c/n 73712), originally equipped with two Baldwin 606SC (SC = Super Charged, utilizing an Elliot BF-34 turbocharger) six-cylinder diesel prime movers. It was rebuilt during December 1960 by EJ&E and the 606SC's were replaced with 606A's. The 606A's improvements over the 606SC included a newly-designed Elliot H-503 turbocharger, new web plates to improve alignment between the prime mover and main generator, heavier and dynamically-balanced crankshaft and conndcting rods, improved lubrication, and new mounting points to reduce operating shocks, and resulting in an increase in horsepower from 1000 (606SC) to 1325 (606A), pretty good for six cylinders. This unit was retired in February 197< and traded to EMD. |
