BN SDP45 6595         
Burlington Northern Railroad SDP45 6595 and SD7 6054 at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in May 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. And now, a rant. I've cleaned up my language for sensitive viewers. Of all of EMD's poor designs, including the BL2, I think this unfortunate notch in the short hood of 6595 for the hand brake is the winner. How difficult would it have been to put a piece of sheet metal in the front to complete the facade and protect the hand brake from the elements. This had to be one of those Friday afternoon designs where the draftsman was concerned about going home for the weekend and took shortcuts to complete the job. End of rant.
