This Baldwin VO-1000 diesel seems to have been repainted, hiding it's original markings. This is a correction on the model due to one of our rare diesel experts. Sorry for the confusion. |

AT&SF VO-1000 2218 |
| Description: |
AT&SF VO-1000 2218 at Colorado Springs, Colorado on August 19, 1964, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in June 1943 (c/n 67725) it was retired March 30, 1971 and went to PNC in June of that year. Note that it is stencilled for both the AT&SF and C&S. At the time of this photo, this unit was assigned as the station switcher at the joint AT&SF/C&S depot. Those two roads had a switching agreement with AT&SF providing a Baldwin or two, an RSD4 (#2107), and a GE 44 ton (#464), and the C&S providing EMD products. It appears that the C&S handled the switching in Denver, and the AT&SF handled the switching in Colorado Springs and Pueblo. The C&S locomotives were lettered C&S over AT&SF, and the AT&SF locomotives were lettered AT&SF (or Santa Fe) over C&S. |

CB&Q VO-1000 9350 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Baldwin VO-1000 9350 at Kansas City, Missouri on January 31, 1965, Kodachrome by Lou Schmitz, Chuck Zeiler collection. This was the first of 30 VO-1000's delivered to the CB&Q during World War II. This one was built in October 1943 (c/n 69778) and traded to GE for new power during March 1967. It was sold to the ACL and went on to a second career, finally retired in 1977-78. Baldwin switchers would not have been the first choice of the CB&Q, but it was not the railroad's decision, rather the War Production Board (WPB) allocated locomotives during the war based on need, and the Burlington was in need of switchers. The WPB allocated a total of 39 diesel switchers to the Q, nine were Alco S2's, and 30 were Baldwin VO-1000's. As built, the VO-1000 had a single exhaust stack located toward the cab end offset to the left, but this proved to be restrictive, and heat would build up in the carbody, causing overheating of the main generator. The exhaust manifold was redesigned a couple of times by Baldwin, finally settling on a four stack design. This design was retro-fitted to several of the CB&Q's VO-1000's. |

CB&Q VO-1000 9352 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Baldwin VO-1000 9352 (c/n 70103) presumed at the Baldwin Eddystone, Pennsylvania plant around November 1943, print by H. L. Broadbelt, Chuck Zeiler collection. The CB&Q received a total of 30 VO-1000's from Baldwin, not by choice, but as doled out by the War Production Board during World War II. The CB&Q would have preferred EMD switchers, but EMD was restricted to producing the FT model road diesel and Model 567 diesel power plants for submarines. The VO-1000's were assigned the 9350-9379 number series. They were powered by a De La Vergne four-cycle eight-cylinder in-line diesel prime mover coupled to Westinghouse electrical gear, producing 1000 horsepower, or 60,405 pounds of tractive effort. It was found that the single exhaust stack tended to create back pressure, and as a result, tended to overheat. The CB&Q (and other railroads) solved this problem by installing four stacks on many of its VO-1000's, resulting in a noisier locomotive. Some railroads went so far as to add eight exhaust stacks, a practice Baldwin called, "hot-rodding". |

CB&Q VO-1000 9352 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad VO-1000 9352 (c/n 70103) at the Baldwin Eddystone, Pennsylvania plant around November 1943, print by H. L. Broadbelt, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 9352 was retired May 1966, likely traded for new power. When approved by the War Production Board, the CB&Q received a total of 30 VO-1000's from Baldwin spanning eight orders, so the serial (construction) numbers were not consecutive, and were assigned the 9350-9379 number series. They were powered by a De La Vergne four-cycle eight-cylinder in-line diesel prime mover coupled to Westinghouse electrical gear, producing 1000 horsepower, or 60,405 pounds of tractive effort. They featured an infinite "air throttle" or electro-pneumatic throttle system as Baldwin preferred to call it. An air valve controlled a resistor which in turn controlled the exciter and generator fields. This produced a "soft start", meaning that even if the throttle was yanked back, the air valve would slowly adjust the resistor to allow the fields to build up. The VO-1000's were concentrated in the Chicago and North Kansas City areas for most of their service life on the CB&Q. |

CB&Q VO-1000 9352 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Baldwin VO-1000 9352 (c/n 70103) presumed at Eddystone, Pennsylvania sometime during November 1943. The CB&Q received 30 Baldwin VO-1000's during World War II, this one was retired in May 1966. A CB&Q Locomotive Assignment Sheet dated June 1965 shows this locomotive assigned to Hannibal, Missouri. Several CB&Q VO-1000's (#'s 9350, 9355, 9361, 9363, 9366, 9367, 9369, 9370, 9371, 9372, & 9379 ) found a second life when they were traded to GE for new power, and were re-sold to the Seaboard Coast Line. |

CB&Q VO-1000 9352 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Baldwin VO-1000 9352 presumed at Eddystone, Pennsylvania sometime in November 1943, print by H. L. Broadbelt, Chuck Zeiler collection. Delivered to the CB&Q around November 1943 (c/n 70103), this was one of 30 VO-1000's the Burlington was allotted by the War Production Board during World War II. It was retired in May 1966. Introduced in 1939, a total of 548 VO-1000's were produced until this model was superseded by the DS-4-4-1000 in 1946. During 1945 Baldwin made several changes to the VO exhaust system design. Originally, the VO's had a single stack, offset to the left in front of the cab. During the first half of 1945, this was changed to two stacks, and later it became four stacks; equally spaced on the VO-1000 and grouped in pairs on the VO-660. In service it had been found that the single stack created excessive heat around the main generator. The two-stack design cured that problem, but heat expansion caused cracks in the exhaust manifold. The four-stack design cured the cracking problem. |
