BN U23C 5207
Title:  BN U23C 5207
Description:  Burlingon Northern Railroad U23C 5207 at Alliance, Nebraska on December 15, 1982, Kodachrome by Jim Altman, Chuck Zeiler collection. Nine U23C's were built for the CB&Q, the last new locomotives acquired by the Q before the BN merger. This one was built in April 1969 (c/n 36995) as CB&Q 467, became BN 5207 sometime after March 2, 1970, and was retired in June 1984. These nine U23C's (CB&Q #'s 460-468, BN #'s 5200-5208) were the only CB&Q GE-built diesels to wear the pre-merger green paint scheme. Externally, the only spotting feature to differentiate the U23C from the U30C is the number of tall engine room doors: six tall doors per side on the U23C, and eight tall doors for the U30C, or one tall door per cylinder.
