| Description: |
Details please folks. Why did it sit around there for years? Were they hoping to save it? Did it serve Southern Illinois Coal Power Plants? Coal mines? Looks in relatively good shape. Not quite even spacing in wheels. A gem. No? Gone? |

PRR 8755, BS-12, 1969 |
| Description: |
Here is a photo by Don Christenson that was taken near McCook, Illinois, on 13 December 1969. Shown here (R to L) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #8755 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. #8755 is a BS-12 switcher built by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton in August of 1952, rated at 1,200 horsepower, and retired in October of 1967 after just 15 years of revenue service. Looks to me like they're headed to the Recycling Center. ("GTC-Collectibles"; #5 of 5) |

EL E-Units on Scrap Line |
| Description: |
Not far from EMD was/is a scrape dealer and there were four (maybe seven) EL E-units in his yard. The three closest have a goindola car at each end and are on track. At least one of the prime movers must work because it looks like a work train. That's a train on the IHB passing to the left. |
