CR GP9 7301
Title:  CR GP9 7301
Description:  Conrail GP9 7301 at 18th Street in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in May 1979, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The bridge in the background was the IC/ICG Saint Charles Air Line.

Number 7301 was built in April 1954 as Cleveland Union Terminal (CUT/NYC) 5701 (c/n 19522) on EMD Order 5340. It later became PC/CR 7301, then VTR 751, then SLR 1751, then SLR 58. It is seen in charge of Train Number 456, The Valpo.

The Valpo first ran for the PRR on August 30, 1869, then called the Chicago–Valparaiso Accommodation. It was also referred to as The Valpo Local or The Dummy. It passed into the hands of the PC and then the CR. Sometime in 1979 it passed into Amtrak, renamed The Calumet, and continued until 1991.
