GTW 77047
Title:  GTW 77047
Description:  Grand Trunk Western Railroad caboose 77047 at Valparaiso, Indiana on October 29, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The occasion was a steam powered fantrip with Dick Jensen's GTW 4-6-2 number 5629 as power. The drumhead reads: 'Railroad Club Of Chicago' (in the center) and 'Railfans Special' around the edge. While cleaning the scan of the slide, I noticed the left side of the cupola was occupied. It must have been quite a show from that vantage point.

PRR 4285, EP-22, 1968
Title:  PRR 4285, EP-22, 1968
Description:  Oil Power. Here is an original 35mm color slide by an unidentified photographer that was taken in January of 1968. Shown here (L to R) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4285 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All are EP-22's built by GM-EMD and rated at 2,250 horsepower each. #4285 was constructed as number "5885" in March of 1950 and renumbered "4285" in preparation for the PRR-NYC merger. In this context, they're rockin' 'n' rollin' with a 14-car passenger train.

West end
Title:  West end
Description:  In August 1978 I rode the Broadway from New York to Chicago. At the time, it was still a main freight route to the Windy City for Conrail, and I recall a number of things from that trip. One was outrunning a white Firebird that was pacing us on adjacent US 30. The other was that we seemed to meet an eastbound every 30 minutes or so. There also was some local traffic on the route, as we see here. A solo GP 7 works a siding near Valpo.
