MILW CFA16-4 24 |
Description: |
MILW CFA16-4 24C at Bensenville, Illinois on January 9, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Fairbanks-Morse was an on-line industry for the Mllwaukee Road, so it was only natural for the road to acquire F-M products. In addition to purchasing F-M's first production diesel locomotive, an H10-44 switcher now at the Illinois Railway Museum, the road purchased 12 CFA16-4's and six CFB16-4 boosters. This unit was built at Beloit, Wisconsin, in July 1951 (c/n 16L482). classed as 16-FF on the MILW, and produced 1600 horsepower with eight cylinders (16 pistons) using an opposed piston prime mover design. |

MILW CFA16-4 26A |
Description: |
MILW CFA16-4 26A at Bensenville, Illinois on February 14, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built by F-M in Beloit, Wisconsin during August 1951 (c/n 16L485) it was traded to EMD in 1968. The Milwaukee Road had 12 of these cabs (#'s 23A,C - 28A,C) and six matching B-units (CFB16-4, #'s 23B - 28B). They saw extensive use on the Chicago Terre Haute & Southeastern, (Bensenville to Louisville, Kentucky), and up to Milwaukee. The Milwaukee directly served F-M's Beloit shops, and became the first customer and second largest owner of F-M products (152 units), behind only the PRR (200 units). |

MILW CFA16-4 26A at Bensenville, Illinois on February 14, 1965, Kodachrone by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built by Fairbanks-Morse in Beloit, Wisconsin, during August 1951 (c/n 16L485), MILW class 16-FF-4, and traded to EMD for new power in 1968. The F-M model designation, CFA16-4, translated means: Consolidation (C-Line) line of cab locomotives, Freight, A-unit, 16 (hundred horsepower), -4 indicates powered axles. The Milwaukee classed it as 16-FF-4 indicating: 1600 horsepower, Fairbanks (Morse), Freight, 4 powered axles. |

MILW CFA16-4 27C |
Description: |
MILW CFA16-4 27C at Bensenville, Illinois on February 14, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in August 1951 (c/n 16L488), class 16-FF on the Milwaukee Road. It is seen smoking at the Milwaukee Road's Bensenville engine facility. According to Jim Boyd's book, Fairbanks-Morse Locomotives In Color (ISBN 1-878887-63-7), there are two possible explanations for the smoke. Unlike Alcos, which produced black smoke as a result of turbo-lag, the F-M's opposed piston (OP) diesels were normally aspired, using a Roots blower to pressurize the intake air. While a properly maintained OP is a smooth and reliable engine, they tend to develop one distinctive characteristic: blue smoke on acceleration. This is the result of two potential causes, which are usually mixed to varying degrees. The first is lubricating oil. While the bottom crankshaft lives in an oil-filled crankcase (like an EMD), the top crankshaft is in a "dry sump", lubricated by pressurized internal passages and a surrounding spray of oil (like the top deck valve chamber of an EMD 567). When the OP idles or shuts down, some of the top sump lube oil will drip down the cylinder walls above the piston, and if the walls are scored or the piston rings are worn, the lube oil will get into the firing chamber and often pass unburned into the exhaust manifold, where it can ignite in a smoky pall when the engine is revved up. The other cause of smoke is the cooling water seeping into the cylinders from the seals where the injectors pass through the water jackets around the cylinder walls. This will also cause smoke. You could tell how well an OP is being maintained by its penchant for smoke upon acceleration. |

BYC. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by David R. Sweetland that was taken just East of the Brick Yard Crossing in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in October of 1962. Shown here (L to R) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9454 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All are FF-16's built by Fairbanks-Morse and rated at 1,600 horsepower each. #9654 was constructed in September of 1950 and retired in April of 1965 after just 15 years of revenue service. In this context, this A-B-A set is pulling a mixed-cargo freight train up the Allegheny Mountains via the Horseshoe Curve to Gallitzin and points West. |
