Title:  SOO GP35 727
Description:  SOO GP35 727 at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, Kodachrome by Gib Allbach, Chuck Zeiler collection. According the The Unofficial SOO Line Diesel Roster site ( http://sooline.dieselrosters.com/ ), number 727 was bult as SOO 727 in May 1965 ( c/n 30130 ), renumbered in May 1975 to 1776 and repainted in SOO's Bicentennial paint. Sometime after the Bicentennial, it was renumbered back to 727, retired in June 1986, conveyed to the Wisconsin Central and is believed to be scrapped.

SOO SD40 743
Title:  SOO SD40 743
Description:  SOO SD40 743 westbound at Oak Park, Illinois on an unknown day in December 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I believe this is a transfer run from the BRC at Clearing Yard (Bedford Park) to Bensenville. In less than a mile this train will climb over the traffic on the left (Eisenhower Expressway, I-90) and turn north, so they are running for the hill. Where you see automobiles in this photo was once the Chicago Aurora & Elgin Railway's right of way. The rails on the left are the CTA, the rails on the right I believe belonged to the B&OCT.

Description:  SOO SD40 747 at Forest Park, Illinois on an unknown day in April 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Yeah, I'm being stupid, driving 55 mph and snapping train pictures. At least there's a hospital at the next exit. My objective was the B&O logo on the bridge. The steel bridge in the background carries the Chicago Transit Authority's rails. Nearly 30 years before this photo, the Chicago Aurora & Elgin Railroad rails passed through this location.
