C&NW F7 409
Title:  C&NW F7 409
Description:  C&NW F7 409 at the C&NW Station throat, roughly Clinton and Lake Streets in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in July 1978, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I'm getting conflicting information about this locomotive (Utahrails.net list two different c/n's), so it'll take me a bit to sort it out. Here's what the consensus is so far: Number 409 was built in March 1949 as C&NW F7 4068A (c/n 6600) as a freight F7, regeared in 1959 for passenger service, a Cummins diesel generator set for 440VAC auxiliary power was installed and it was assigned to suburban service. In 1971 it was renumbered to 409, on December 31, 1977 it was sold to the RTA and leased back the next day. It was retired by the RTA May 2, 1983, sold to Rails Diversified Inc as 409 in March 1985, resold to Winchester & Western, resold to Maryland Midland RR as 100, resold to Short Line Enterprises as Fillmore & Western 100. In the background is C&NW E8 5027A.
