Frisco EMD SD40-2 Skin Pack
The St. Louis-San Francisco Railway, commonly known as the "Frisco," has a storied history of two halves. During its first 60 years the company struggled mightily with a tumultuous history of name changes and bankruptcies.
After settling into a regional role serving parts of Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama the Frisco blossomed into a successful railroad. Its status was further enhanced by reaching the Gulf Coast (Florida) during the 1920’s where the lucrative petrochemical industry later developed.
Following one last bankruptcy, brought about by the depression, it spent the last 30 years as a healthy carrier. Throughout its corporate history the Frisco was not your typical Midwestern "granger" system as it carried a culture all its own, right down to a self-designed coonskin logo.
Both its own prosperity and the merger movement were growing during the 1970’s, which led to its acquisition by western giant Burlington Northern in 1981.
Here we have the Frisco EMD SD40-2.
