| N&W GP9 510 at 47th Street in Chicago, Illinois on October 31, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is an edit of the original information, based on comment by Ian Contreras: This was former Wabash train number 24, by this photo date it was N&W number 4-124, the Domeliner "Blue Bird", departing Saint Louis at 9:10 AM daily for Chicago, stopping at 47th Street at 2:32 PM and arriving at Dearborn Street Station at 2:50 PM. Although leased by the N&W ( at the time of this photo, the Wabash was controlled by the PRR ), the Wabash continued to exist as a paper railroad until November 1991 when the N&W purchased the Wabash outright. |
