| Chicago and North Western Railway Yard Slug BU5 at Proviso, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1979, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Number BU5 was built in October 1949 as TR2B 2001B (c/n 10024) on EMD Order E1305. On June 26, 1962 it was completed as Yard Slug BU5 and mated with its original control unit, TR2A 2001A. It was retired May 1, 1980, sold to the KCS, becoming KCS Yard Slug 4058. The open doors are the likely source of why this unit was sidelined. |
