Notching up in a grey overcast day in April 1993.
Northbound in the former MN&S Western Ave yard. The track in the foreground is former Minnesota Western, then CNW. All this trackage is still in use today.
#4100 has had quite a lifespan, having started in 1955 as PRR #7039; a GP9, then PennCentral and then Conrail. After rebuilding by Generation II it became SOO #4100 as a GP15C and later as RRVW #4100.
The Soo's seven GP15Cs, numbers 4100-4106 were built by Generation II Locomotives* using 1,500 horespower CAT 3512 prime movers atop GP9 frames. All featured ZTR computer controls and were delivered in the winter of 1990-1991.
*Ziegler Inc., is a Midwest Caterpillar dealer (20 locations, MN, IA & WI) who established Generation II Locomotives. Ziegler's locomotive facilities are located on the former MN&S 'Highline' in Bloomington, MN.
With Caterpillar's acquisition of Electro-Motive Diesel, Inc. (EMD) I suspect that Ziegler will move these operations to Illinois.
Scanned Kodak Gold 200 negative.
