AMTK E8 246
Title:  AMTK E8 246
Description:  A grab iron problem sidelined Amtkak E8 246 at Wilmington, Delaware on an unknown day in May 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I marked the slide as Wilmington, but it may be Washington DC. If anyone knows (the bridge in the background should provide a clue) please leave a comment and I will correct the location, thanks.

AMTK E8 439
Title:  AMTK E8 439
Description:  Amtrak E8 439 without a pilot and an unidentified E unit with icicle breakers at about 18th Street in Chicago, Illinois on an undnown day in March 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. According to the book, Amtrak By The Numbers, number 439 was built in February 1952 (c/n 15712) as RF&P E8 1007, became AMTK 21>, was rebuilt in April 1974 to E8A-R 439 and officially retired in July 1981, although it looks retired here. The locomotives were parked on leads to Dearborn Street Station, closed in 1971. Santa Fe's Super Chief and other passenger trains once used these rails. The rails rising in the background were the IC (ICG on this photo date) rails ascending to meet the ICG's Saint Charles Air Line on the bridge in$the background. I don't know the purpose of the tower building seen on the right.
