American Freedom Train 1
Title:  American Freedom Train 1
Description:  American Freedom Train 1 and 4449 on the C&NW at Proviso, Illinois on August 4, 1975, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The AFT arrived in Chicago on July 27 and was put on display at Navy Pier. On August 4, the train was pulled from Navy Pier to Proviso, and the locomotives were exchanged in a brief ceremony. Obviously, I forgot my car and people filters.

American Freedom Train 4449
Title:  American Freedom Train 4449
Description:  American Freedom Train 4449 at Proviso, Illinois on August 4, 1975, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. In a brief ceremony, the American Freedom Train was handed off to SP 4449. Facing the 4449 is AFT 1, former RDG 2101, which will receive mechanical attention and return to AFT duties almost a year later. This was as close as I was allowed to get.
