Wabash GP9 486 at 47th Street in Chicago, Illinois on May 9, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Number 486 was built in January 1954 (c/n 18873) on EMD Order 5310, later became N&W 3486, was traded back to EMD and scrapped by Pielet Brothers around May 1984. This is Train 121, listed in the June 1965 edition of the Official Guide as the Domeliner "Blue Bird". By the date of this photo this train is a Norfolk and Western Railway daily train from Chicago to Saint Louis, departing Dearborn Street Station at 4:15 PM. It has only 12 stops between Chicago and Saint Louis, one of which is at the station at 47th Street, just out of the photo to the left. The consist listed in the Official Guide includes the "Blue Bird Room" Dome Parlor Lounge Car (No. P-21), (Railroad Owned), Dome Chair Car (reclining seats), Chair Cars (reclining seats), and Dining Car - Cocktail Lounge. It appears to have a business car on the rear painted in UP colors. |
