Restoration Projects
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy 504

 The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy 504, an operating EMD SD24, was brought into the diesel shop in February 2002. Currently in BN paint as 6244, this SD will soon be restored to Q paint. The first steps will be back dating the steps on all four corners, replacing a couple patches to some rusted steel around the short hood, and moving some of the sill doors to their correct locations. The photos below show much of the progress to date, the photos are displayed with the most recent near the top to the earliest near the bottom.
