Northbound on the Joint Line near Louviers, Fort Worth & Denver 752D heads a Colorado & Southern freight for Denver on July 8, 1967. The practice of sandwiching one or two SD9s between paired AB F-units – a 9,500-hp combination – is common on Burlington and its FW&D and C&S subsidiaries, and also on the D&RGW, where such combinations are called “Perlman mallets” in honor of Alfred E. Perlman, that road’s inventive general manager. The 752D along with most of the FW&D and C&S F7’s will swept off the roster in a year, traded in on the SD40s and U30Cs that will take their place.
