Burlington Northern E9AMs

A group of Burlington Northern commutes await a call to serve into Chicago, parked in BN's Aurora, Illinois yard.

 

Beginning in the mid-1970s, 25 Burlington Northern E8As were rebuilt by Morrison-Knudsen in Boise, Idaho. MK upgraded them to E9A standards, and included the installation of EMD 645 power assemblies and head-end power, branding the fleet E9AMs.

 

These E9AMs were some of the last E-series locomotives in active service in North America. All were retired in 1992.
