At 5:56 p.m. on April 27, 1991, Burlington Northern train 204 heads east along the “Ol’ Man River” and Mississippi Palisades State Park as it rolls toward Savanna, Illinois. The train is led by GP20C No. 2003, one of BN’s unique Caterpillar-powered GP20s. Rebuilt by Generation II 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.
