B&O GP9 6581
Title:  B&O GP9 6581
Description:  B&O GP9 6581 southbound on the IHB at McCook, Illinois on an unknown day in August 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. For those of you not familiar with this neighborhood, about a mile behind 6581 (or, a mile ahead of 6653) is the birth place of most EMD locomotives until about 1980 or so, EMD's plant at La Grange. A heck of a lot of dead locomotives past by this location, either as new units being delivered, or trade-ins destined for Pielet Brothers Scrap Yard, located roughly across these tracks from EMD. I imagine that most locomotives breath a sigh of relief after they passed by Pielet Brothers. I marked the GP9 as B&O even though the letters C+O appear on the frame.

C&NW SD38-2 6658
Title:  C&NW SD38-2 6658
Description:  C&NW SD38-2 6658 at Archer and Western Avenues (aka Brighton Park) in Chicago, Illinois on December 21, 1987, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in January 1975 (c/n 75618-9) it became UP 2814 and later UPY 814.

The C&NW acquired ten SD38-2's in January 1975 (road #'s 6850-6859, generally assigned to hump service at Proviso Yard near Chicago) out a production run of 83 units by EMD from 1972 to 1979. They were powered by an EMD 16-645E 16 cylinder normally-aspired (Roots blower) prime mover producing 2000 horsepower. It is seen here at the last manually contolled crossing in the City of Chicago. The first two tracks closest to my position belonged to the PRR/PC/CR railroads and the second two (including the rails under 6658) belonged to the B&OCT. The single track crossing those four is the former Chicago & Alton, later GM&O, by the date of this photo, the ICG. More information later as I find it out. Please leave a Comment if you know more about this location.

Mmmm, soup, also a good shot of the Campbell's Soup watertower.
