History of Burlington Northern's Commuter E Units: Chicagoland’s Suburban Streamliners

By the early 1990's, E Units nationwide had either been retired, scrapped, or become a piece of a railroad's heritage fleet. In the Chicagoland region, however, E9AM's could be found shuttling commuter to and from downtown. Watch and learn about Burlington Northern's suburban E Units!

I worked the dinkies early in my career. Several of the engineers used to say that they liked the E9 more than the F40. One more point is that I’ve never heard a railroader call the East End the race track. I think that it was coined by Trains Magazine about 30 years ago. They had a two part article about BN’s eastern operations between Chicago, Galesburg, and LaCrosse.

[@nigelrichardson4327]

BN 9912 is like The Giving Tree. After it’s retirement it of course made its way to Nashville. At a time, a number of E units including 9912 were kept in Nashville for possible use in commuter service with the then new Music City Star; however, due to a large surplus of retired, but functional, F40s from Amtrak readily available, the units were never used and 4 F40PHRs took their place. While the other E units were sold off, the 9912 sat on TCRM grounds and was used as a parts source for the museum’s private-owned E8 6902, which was unfortunately sold off just a few weeks ago due to its owner becoming increasingly physically unable to maintain it anymore. To this day 9912 sits outside in the elements with no more purpose other than to sit pretty with the looks it has left.

When I was a young railroad enthusiast, my grandparents lived in Western Springs. The triple track was one block from their house. I'd go down to watch the trains all of the time, and remember watching (and loving) the old E-units, as Burlington Northern was my favorite rail line. I was really sad when Metra took over. Their locomotives were pretty-ish, but they weren't the green, white, and black E-units.

Great video! I knew that Morrison Knudsen rebuilt F40s and other Americanclassics, but I had no idea that they restored these E8s as well. I'm also interested to learn that BN kept an E unit as their #3 for OCS service instead of just the F units.

[@bigshouldersrails1318]

The more research I do, the more I find out that Morrison Knudsen rebuilt just about everything. It was also only a few years ago that I found out that BN had an E Unit as part of their OCS service. All the years I've been to IRM, you'd think a 70ft long E Unit would be hard to miss!

I’ve been riding Metra’s BNSF line my entire life. When I was possibly as young as two or three, I remember my dad taking me to look at the trains in Aurora. This had to have been just after they were retired, but in my earliest memories I can still remember a few E9’s sitting there in the yard. Theses days Metra is basically in the same place with the F40ph’s that they were with the E units when they were retired. They’re definitely operating well past their intended lifespan

Great video! I did note that the route map towards the beginning was missing probably the most important of all of the BN's suburbs, Downers Grove with the most stations for a single suburb (3, Fairview st, Main St, and Belmont ave). This, especially in light of the most notable incident caught on film/video at the Fairview st station that was noted.

[@bigshouldersrails1318]

The reason I left Downers Grove off the map was because it was one of three towns that was not a part of the West Suburban Mass Transit District. Along with Aurora and Cicero, Downers Grove did not join mainly due to political reasons. I did not intentionally exclude them!

[@trainliker100]

That accident of the woman walking into the train while another was parked (among other similar accidents) is why trains will now often stop short of a station and wait if there is a through train about to come through on another track. Too many people get off a train and then walk around one end or the other of the stopped train they just got off of. And right onto a live track with a train coming by at speed. By delaying pulling into the station, those who get off who are stupid enough to walk across a track like that are protected from their stupidity. And I mean stupidity. It is stupid to walk onto a railroad track without having looked both ways up and down the track, no matter what.

[@trainliker100]

@Dan C. I'm sorry, but you are factually wrong. Metra in Chicago absolutely has used practice on at least the three-track BNSF line going west. I have personally observed this many times. The other method they sometimes employ is to stop the train on the center track until the formerly stopped commuter train has cleared the station such as shown about 22 minutes in at this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWmWZJeJe6eXnZI Also, Amtrak in California has a rule for San Luis Obispo where the northbound and southbound Coast Starlight cannot be at the station at the same time. (Again, to protect against somebody walking around the end of a stopped train into another moving one). The trains often meet at San Luis Obispo and typically the northbound train will wait about a quarter mile south (right in front of the San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum in the form SP freight house) until the southbound train has cleared the station. Only then does the northbound train proceed to the station. Since this is a ten minute station stop, the northbound train is often waiting in a safe place for quite awhile. In some places, railroad operations HAVE changed, even though railroads have the right of way, to accommodate stupidity.

[@User0000000000000004]

You've never been to Chicago in your life and you're confusing commuter trains with school buses. You think Chicago commuter trains stop short of a station, with the capacity they serve, because some horrible woman (sorry, she was with her lawyer outside his office and getting divorced, so...) walked in front of one like an idiot? Get outside, read a book, you need to know that your thoughts aren't what the rest of us experience in the real world.

[@trainliker100]

@@User0000000000000004 I grew up in Oak Park which is adjacent to Chicago. Been back to Chicago many times after moving away. Always spend some train watching time at Riverside. That is where I have frequently seen Metra trains do exactly as I described. Also, in San Luis Obispo, CA Amtrak does a similar activity with the northbound and southbound Coast Starlights which often arrive there at the same time. The northbound is held stopped about a quarter mile south of the station (right in front of the Railroad Museum in the old Southern Pacific freight house) until the southbound in the station completes its scheduled 10 minute stop and train servicing and departs the station. Only then does the northbound move to the station. Same reason. Finally, I don't think it was this single event that caused this. I think it happened multiple times which would not be surprising. Even in the video you see a number of others crossing the tracks in front of the stopped train even though the gate is down.

There may be some who don't know that not all wheels were powered in E units. The center wheel set of each truck is unpowered and is just an idler.

The main reason that Ms. Wotyla was hit was at that time, the BN did NOT adhere to GCOR rule 630. I saw the unedited version of that accident and it is NOT pretty. Rule 630 states that when a train is standing in a station that an oncoming train cannot enter that station other than at restricted speed unless crossing protection (other than automatic crossing gates/warnings) for the approaching train is provided. There was another commuter train standing in the Fairview Ave. station. On the CNW/UP rule 630 is strictly observed but NOT on the BN or BNSF. I will wager that there are more pedestrian incidents on the BNSF's single commuter line to Aurora than ALL 3 of the UP's commuter lines! Why the BN/BNSF refuses to strictly enforce rule 630 can only be answered by its legal department.
