BN 2006 Eastbound at East Dubuque IL
BN's engine replacement program started in 1988. GP20Cs #2000 was completed in September using the ex-CB&Q #2059 as the prototype. The unit received a Caterpillar 3516 2075-hp engine with a Kato alternator. 4 rebuilds followed in 1989, with the last done in early 1990. These GP20Cs only lasted 3 years on the roster, and many of them ended up at the TCW. While the BN had them, you could see many of them on Expediters working between St. Paul and Chicago. Here a pair lead probably #42 through East Dubuque.
Scanned negative from 7-04-92.
