Chuck Zeiler	General	Possibly McCook, Illinois, Pielet Bros setout track, IHB tracks in foreground, EMD plant behind photographer.	12/7/2021 2:50:55 PM

Bay State Model Railroad Museum	General	Thank you Chuck! The location and caption have been updated. - Jonathan, BSMRM	5/27/2023 5:46:30 PM

Gary Hart	General	This cannot be McCook,Illinois. the SAL FA-1's were NOT traded in until 1966 on GP-40 and in 1957 they were on the job in Florida. The centepiede was NOT traded in, rather scrapped at W.Jax in 1961.	1/25/2024 4:44:21 PM

Gary Hart	General	If this is a true 1957 slide, it is in Florida and likely still in service. But the end of service was not far away. I believe it is Tampa,Fl as the location, but sure not Illinois.	1/25/2024 4:45:53 PM
