Nostalgia & History > opportunity

This could be the only time such a meeting occurred. A BN U 28-C 5677 and SP 7033, Though they both
came out of Erie, their paths should have kept them apart. The 7033 was a U-25 B, but fate and the
SP caused it to be rebuilt with Sulzer power. And where did I catch these on adjoining tracks?
That would be Albina Yard, a UP yard in Portland,OR. The four SP Sulzers weren't often off SP rails.
I had never seen a BN U 28- C at Albina. At that time I could shoot around the UP if I was low key,
but not now.

Why are the trucks different on the BN U28C than the trucks that were on the U28C of the SP?

Early U28's (B and C) were basically souped-up U25's and used the same carbody and trucks.

I assume you mean on the BN?

Steamjocky,

Not sure what you mean by your question.

In looking a my collection of U-28 C's by railroad:
CB&Q L&N NP PRR all seem to be the thicker looking frame truck,

UP and SP all came with the Adirondack style. As well as the U28-CG 's of Santa Fe.
