UP DC-3
Title:  UP DC-3
Description:  Union Pacific Railroad DC-3 at Lincoln, Nebraska on an unknown day in October 1956, Kodachrome by Dick Rumbolz, Chuck Zeiler collection. The DC-3 was built by the J. G. Brill Company in 1928 as Detroit & Mackinac 201 on Order 22749. As built, it was powered by a Hall-Scott 300 horsepower gasoline engine and GE electrical gear. It was purchased by Teledetector Company of Chicago in 1954 (along with D&M 202, same builder and construction date), and converted to a rail defect detector car. Apparently Teledetector was planning on competing with Sperry, but only the 201 was converted and was sold to the UP in April 1954, becoming DC-3 (03000). The DC-3 was modified in August 1961 (renumbered 90300 but still displaying DC-3) and again in 1984. It was sold for scrap in December 1986.

UP DC-3
Title:  UP DC-3
Description:  Union Pacific Railroad DC-3 at Lincoln, Nebraska on an unknown day in March 1962, Kodachrome by Dick Rumbolz, Chuck Zeiler collection. This appears to be the second permutation of the DC-3 on the UP. It started out as a gas-electric built in 1928 by the J. G. Brill Company on Order 22749 as D&M 201. It was a Model 350 powered by a Hall-Scott 300 horsepower gasoline engine driving GE electrical gear. It seated 38 passengers and weighed 58 tons. In 1952 it was sold to Teledetector Company of Chicago and converted to a rail defect detector car. However, the company did not survive and sold the detector car to the UP in April 1954. It became DC-3 and still had the as-built Brill front. It was rebuilt in 1961, acquiring the brow over the front windows as seen here, and rebuilt again around 1983, acquiring yet another front end arrangement. Note that in this arrangement it has a single headlight and the Brill passenger windows were retained, to be replaced at a later date.

UP DC-3
Title:  UP DC-3
Description:  Union Pacific Railroad DC-3 at Potter, Nebraska on February 20, 1984, Kodachrome by Jim Altman, Chuck Zeiler collection. Originally built by Brill as D&M 201, it came to the UP in 1954 by way of the Teledetector Company. It went through several rebuilds on the UP, this being the final (I believe) arrangement before being retired in December 1986 and sold for scrap.

UP M-69
Title:  UP M-69
Description:  Union Pacific Railroad Brill M-69 at an unknown location (see comment below, thanks John) on June 2, 1957, Kodachrome by Dick Rumbolz, Chuck Zeiler collection. The slide mount was simply marked: UP M-69 TRESTLE 6/2/57. If anyone recognizes the location, please leave a comment and I will correct this information.

Number M-69 was built by Brill in 1930 as Oregon Short Line M-69 (c/n 22866-1) and retired in May 1958. It was a Brill Model 350, weighed 57 tons, was powered by a Hall Scott 300 horsepower gasoline engine driving GE electrical equipment, and seated 70 passengers. It was retired in May 1958 and presumably scrapped. Nice trailing car, sorry, I couldn't accurately read any numbers, so I am relying on the slide mount to tell the truth.
