En route to the Genesee Valley Transportation Company in Scranton, PA in a cross-country trip from Portland, OR is the restored Nickel Plate Road ALCO PA-1 No. 190, which has been restored by preservationist Doyle McCormack for the past twenty years. This locomotive began its trip east from the PNW on the BNSF, and it arrived into Kansas City on BNSF train H-PASKCK9-30A early in the morning. It will leave the next afternoon on BNSF train H-KCKBRC1-04A to the BRC Clearing Yard in Chicago, where it will then be handed off to the NS.
Here, it's sitting in front of Tall Tower at BNSF's Argentine Yard, a former Santa Fe facility. This engine is no stranger here, as it was originally built for the ATSF by ALCO in December of 1948 as No. 62-L. It was dressed in the iconic red and silver Warbonnet paint scheme, and it made many trips through Argentine back in the day as it passed through between Chicago and Los Angeles leading passenger trains, even iconic ones such as the "Super Chief" and "El Capitan". It's truly great to see it back at home once again.
Santa Fe retired this engine in April of 1967 and sold it to Morrison-Knudsen in Boise, ID. It along with three others were rebuilt by MK and designated as PA-4's for the Delaware & Hudson. This one became the D&H No. 18, and it was used by Amtrak for the "Adirondack" and the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority for commuter service around Boston. These four ended being the last PA's in the United States, and in 1978, all were sold to NdeM in Mexico, this one becoming DH-18.
All four still survive to this day, half remain down in Mexico and the other half here in the states. This one and the other, the DH-16, made their way back into the US in 2000, when Doyle McCormack along the Smithsonian Institute worked to bring back what was left of both engines. They ended up sourcing a set of truck in Canada and a 251 prime mover, electrical cabinet and traction motors from a BCOL M420B. The DH-16 today lives at the Museum of American Railroad in Texas, where it is being cosmetically restored to its original Santa Fe livery.
Doyle McCormack's father worked for the NYC&STL, much more commonly referred to as the Nickel Plate Road. Doyle's first cab ride was on the original NKP No. 190 when he was only 12 years old. He's had quite an extensive railroad career, starting with the N&W in Ohio as an operator and fireman before moving to the PNW, working for SP, Amtrak and the UP. He's also well known for his involvement with the American Freedom Train and the SP No. 4449.
When this engine was moved to the Oregon Rail Heritage Center in Portland, OR, Doyle began restoring it to appear as the NKP No. 190, the same engine in which he had his first cab ride. It's been a lengthy process to complete, taking most of the past two decades. This actually isn't the first cross-country trip for this engine, as it was moved to Spencer, NC in 2014 for the "Streamliners at Spencer" event, which is where I first saw this unit.
In March 2023, it was announced that Doyle had sold the PA to the folks at GVT to be used in excursion service in Northeastern Pennsylvania, operated by the Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad.
I've loved the look of the ALCO PA's, and I'm glad at least a few have been preserved. Although they looked immaculate in Santa Fe's Warbonnet paint scheme, they certainly wear Nickel Plate's blue and white scheme very well. 5/3/23.

One last go around the patch! The WC-135W Constant Phoenix, serial 61-2667 (callsign SHINR51), arrived at the Greenville Majors Airport yesterday. This historic "nuke sniffing" airframe has been in USAF service since 1962 and has 36,577 flight hours. Boneyard Safari was on scene and we were not only lucky enough to see its arrival, but subsequent pattern work!
Tasked with collecting nuclear samples from the atmosphere, this Constant Phoenix has found itself in the midst of major world events such as Chernobyl in 1986, Crimea in 2014, Fukushima in 2011, and a number of other nuclear tests by countries such as Pakistan, India, and North Korea.
A formal retirement ceremony for Tail 667 was held at the Lincoln Airport Wednesday, September 7th, to send off the aircraft many of its former flight crews lovingly refer to as "Old Busted". If you look closely at the side of the aircraft, you can see many signatures both under the cockpit section and on the inboard engine. During the ceremony, the base welcomed the new addition to the fleet and the WC-135W's replacement, WC-135R tail 64-14836, which Boneyard Safari caught flight testing at Greenville back in June prior to delivery. The WC-135R is the first of three Constant Phoenix aircraft that is slated to come on property.
In the meantime, the fine folks at L3Harris in Greenville will begin removal of Tail 667's sensor suites and communication equipment. Shortly after, it will be flown one final time to the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base boneyard, or AMARG, where it will join many of its sisters in the desert.
Farewell to this Cold Warrior. She has served her country well!
