EJ&E DT-6-6-2000 912 |
Description: |
EJ&E Baldwin DT-6-6-2000 912 crossing the C&NW at Tower JB in West Chicago, Illinois, on January 26, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Although I was 18 years old when I shot this photo, this was the location of my first employment as a paperboy when I was seven. This is where my paper route began. One thing for sure, there was a lot of noise when the EJ&E crossed the C&NW, especially with short wheelbase freight cars. I talked to Bob Fox, a guy I know who worked in that tower. He did not have fond memories of his experience in that tower. Apparently, all was quiet in the tower one very early morning (about 2:00 AM or so) when the buzzer sounded and an EJ&E transfer run asked for permission to cross. Bob didn't see any C&NW trains asking for permission, so he allowed the EJ&E train to cross. Even in the best of conditions, the EJ&E train, which at this point was in Service Brake application, would have taken some time to get up to speed, maybe 10 mph, to cross the C&NW. According to Bob, as soon as the EJ&E train occupied the circuit, the buzzer went off again; a C&NW train asking for permission to cross. Then another. Before he knew what happened another C&NW train was asking for permission, and Bob was tieing up three C&NW trains, and the EJ&E train hadn't even hit the diamonds. Bob had to answer to both the EJ&E and C&NW dispatchers. He quit the railroad business a couple of weeks later. |

EJ&E DT-6-6-2000 921 |
Description: |
EJ&E Baldwin/EMD DT-6-6-2000 921 at Joliet, Illinois on February 13, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 921 was built by Baldwin in August 1948 (c/n 73729) as EJ&E 121. Originally powered by two Baldwin Model 606SC diesels with Westinghouse electrical gear, it was repowered by EMD in April 1957 with two 567C prime movers. However, because of the Westinghouse electrical gear, which was reused, the prime movers could not produce the full 1200 horsepower at 800 rpm, but were limited to 625 rpm to protect the main generators from flashng over. This had a side effect of being hard of the 567C's which suffered from poor lubrication and overheating. Eventually adjustments were made and the repowering proved to be a tolerable success. The EMD hoods were tapered at the bottom to fit the narrow Baldwin frame, and special handrail stanchions were fashioned to allow space for the passage of personnel around the wider hoods. This unit was retired in July 1976. |

EJ&E DT-6-6-2000 924 |
Description: |
EJ&E DT-6-6-2000 924 crossing over the CB&Q at Eola, Illinois on January 29, 1966, Kodachrome by CHuck Zeiler. Built in September 1948 as EJ&E #124 (C/N 73732) with two Baldwin 606SC diesel prime movers, it was rebuilt by EMD at La Grange in January 1958 with two EMD 1200hp 567C engines, new dual control stands, and modified EMD switcher hoods, was MU capable with all EJ&E units, and was renumbered to 924. It was retired and sold in September 1975 to Industrial Maintenance Service. The EJ&E rostered a total of 26 of this model, and also owned the original DT-6-6-2000 demonstrator, #100, known as the 'Golden Goose' by the EJ&E personnel. The #100 was somewhat different in design from the production DT-6-6-2000's, and was never rebuilt. Starting in 1956, EJ&E sent a total of 14 units to EMD for new diesels, and rebuilt 11 in their own shops, Number 118 was never rebuilt. Those rebuilt by EJ&E had their Baldwin 606SC prime movers replaced with Baldwin 606A's and renumbered into the 700 series. At LaGrange, EMD installed V-12's in place of the inline 606SC's, which forced EMD to replace the hoods as well to accommodate the width of the V block. Note how EMD had to fair in the bottom of the hood to meet the narrower Baldwin frame just above the running board. The new hoods were also lower than the original Baldwin hoods. The V-12 567C was normally rated at 1200 hp, but those installed in the EJ&E Baldwins could not be used at maximum capacity. The 567C produced its rated horsepower at around 800 rpm, but in the EMD/DT-6-6-2000's, the diesels were mated to the original Westinghouse main generators, which were designed to turn at a maximum of 625 rpm. Turning the generators any faster resulted in 'lots of fireworks' (a.k.a. flash-over) inside the hood, so the EMD diesels had to be slowed down. This was not without problems; at constant low speed the diesels suffered from poor lubrication and overheating. Eventually speed settings to suit the diesels and generators were found and the repowering by EMD was considered a tolerable success. The EMD repowered units were renumbered in the 900 series. The 606SC diesel blocks removed from the DT-6-6-2000's during rebuilding were recycled into the EJ&E's Baldwin switchers. |
