C&NW GP9 1755, Yard Slug BU7, and Probably SW1200 310  Contributor's Pick!       
BU7 was built as switch engine model SC (predating the long-running SW series) as EMC 60 in Feb. 1937. It first road number was M&StL D438 then M&StL 60 then CNW 60. Then it was rebuilt to yard slug BU7 in Aug. 1963 and retired in Jan. 1979 (42 years in revenue service is a darn good career!). The number of its mother was not recorded but SW1200 #310 was its last known power unit. This slide was an unprojectable disaster. Fortunately I kept it and thanks to modern scanning technology and digital photo maniplation software it is just barely presentable.
