Our Quick Pic Book series shows the subjects in extensive black & white
photographs which have often been digitally edited to best exhibit the details. This book shows the details inside and out of these locomotives.
Though built in General Electric's Erie, PA Plant, there are two distinctly
separate versions of this locomotive in this book. Though they are essentially identical internally, there are external features such as the cab roof shape that varied between the first batch of former ATSF units that were built for high speed intermodal service and wore the revived Super Chief red and silver paint, and the second order which wore road numbers
560-582 on the ATSF and later on the BNSF that have the gull wing cab
roof to take into account clearance along the line. Those that came from
the BN had the standard roof profile. Though at the time these photos
were taken, there were still Super Chief painted units that just had the
cabs or the long carbody side "patched", the BNSF was running them through the paint shop as fast as possible to get them into the orange BNSF paint scheme with the yellow oval reminiscent of the old Santa Fe on the nose.
