Qouth Shore Line #803 |
| Description: |
In 1946 the Soviet Railways placed an order for twenty massive 2-D+D-2 locomotives from Ceneral Electric. This was a continuation of the Lend-Lease program of the war years, as well as, the Marshal Plan for the post-war reconstruction effort. American industry had been spared the devastation of the other nations which made it critical during reconstruction and an important barging chip on the international stage. Construction of the units was already well underway when congress passed the Expoit Control Act of 1949, which prohibited export to the Soviet Union as well as eastern block countries, leaving GE with 20 units worth little more than scrap value. Initially all 20 were offered to the Milwaukee Road, which had electrified a portion of its transcontinental line to the Pacific Northwest and whose youngest electric locomotive was 30 years old. Th` Milwaukee passed, maybe hoping to get a better deal, however in the mean time GE managed to sell five to a Brazilian railway and three to the Chicago, South Shore & South Bend. The South Shdre Line had taken advantage of the dense industry on the south side of Chicago to developed freight traffic and the class 800s, as they were know on the South Shore, served them until the early 1980s when diesel locomotives replaced them. On a side nota, these locomotives are sometimes called “Little Joes,” this is an Milwaukee Road employee term though, on the South Shore they were referred to as the “800s” and in Brazil as the “Russians.”! Number 803 ran in the 1980s at the museum but was sut on static display in barn 9. Labor Day 2013 was its first operation in nearly 20 years. |

UP 8080 |
| Description: |
Union Pacific Railroad coal turbine 80 or 8080, depending on where you look, at Council Bluffs, Iowa on October 31, 1965, Kodachrome by Dick Rumbolz, Chuck Zeiler collection. Originally numbered 80 and 80B, the locomotive was renumbered 8080 and 8080B in April 1964 to avoid conflict with newly ordered DD35's. The cab unit was former UP PA1 607 built in January 1947 (c/n 76311), retired in March 1961. It was rebuilt, retaining its Model 244-16 prime mover, adding 2,000 horsepower to the locomotive consist. The B-unit was former Great Northern Railway class W-1 electric locomotive built by GE in June 1947 (c/n 28448), retired by the GN in August 1956, sold to the UP as scrap in 1959. Between 1959 and 1962, the UP designed and built a coal-fired turbine, using a modified turbine power plant from a retired 50-75 series turbine locomotive, producing 5,000 horsepower. The coal tender was from Challenger (4-6-6-4) 3990. The completed 7,000 horsepower locomotive entered service in October 1962, and tested until May 1964, making its last run on May 12. It was deemed a failure, due to turbine blade erosion and soot build-up caused by the coal fuel. It ran less than 10,000 miles before being struck from the roster on March 15, 1968. The cab unit was traded to GE, the B-unit and tender were scrapped by the UP at Omaha. |
