Amtrak SW1 732
Title:  Amtrak SW1 732
Description:  Amtrak SW1 732 at Canal and 16th Street in Chicago, Illinois on June 7, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. On a hazy Chicago day, Amtrak SW1 732 is about to wye a train through the Union Avenue interlocking. It appears the number 732 was built in May 1949 as NYC SW1 605 (c/n 6411) on EMD Order E999, later became NYC 8431, then PC 8431, then AMTK 245 (2nd) then AMTK 732. In the background is BN NW2 543, delivered to the CB&Q in August 1946 as 9246 (c/n 3642), awaiting its turn through the interlocking. Overhead is a C&NW transfer on the Saint Charles Air Line. This was the Illinois Central's (by this date, the ICG) westward main line through Illinois and Iowa. The name "Air Line" denotes that the rails ran as straight as possible, as if a line was drawn in the air, avoiding as many curves as was possible. The caboose (#12557) was a Rock Island wide vision, but has acquired steel plating over the cupola windows, likely in conformance to FRA glazing regulations.

Description:  Burlington Northern Railroad caboose 11535 (ex-SLSF 1205 built in February 1957) at Canal Street in Chicago, Illinois on June 7, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Every train pictured was moving, and it would have been a much better shot if they had followed my telepathic instructions.

BN NW2 552
Title:  BN NW2 552
Description:  BN NW2 552 at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in November 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. There is a small diesel-spotter's problem here. According to several sources, this locomotive was built in February 1949 as CB&Q TR2A 9403A (c/n 6565), semi-permanently coupled to cabless TR2B 9403B. In 1954, the TR2B's were returned to EMD for installation of cabs. However, by 1954, the cab design had changed a bit, and the TR2B's (now classed as NW2's) had rectangular cab windows over the hood, whereas the original TR2A's (re-classed as NW2's) retained their as-built arched windows. That, and the two-step hood taper at the cab wall, WERE the spotting features to differentiate the former TR2A's from the TR2B's. in the BN era. This locomotive has lost both the arched windows and two-step taper. There is evidence of a recent shopping (fresh paint, for instance) suggesting that body modifications may have taken place, I don't know for sure. Certainly the bell hangar and exhaust stacks are not EMD production.
