Burlington Northern “Expediter” piggyback train 42 flies through the Illinois countryside east of Chana on April 6, 1991. The train is led by GP20C No. 2003, one of BN’s unique Caterpillar-powered GP20s. Rebuilt by Generation II Locomotives between 1988 and 1990, ten units (Nos. 2000-2009) were equipped with a Caterpillar 3500-series 2,000 hp engine, along with other improvements like an all new electronic control system. One obvious external difference was a new angular cab replacing the EMD original.
Pace and pan shots of trains from on the ground or in the air. If you're not in the locomotive cab or on-board the train, it's the next best thing to being there.
