BN F45 6617
Title:  BN F45 6617
Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad F45 6617 at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in October 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Ordered by the GN, it was built and delivered to the BN in August 1970 (c/n 36344) as #6617, retired August 1985, and is seen here in a state of disrepair, apparently. As I was cleaning the slide scan, I realized some of the "dirt" was actually oil, or some other material, looks like a blown oil seal or something around the air intake area (vents on the roof behind the cab door), and there are oil spots all over the sides.
