C&NW S12M 1078 |
| Description: |
C&NW S12M 1078 in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. According to the CNW sign just to the right of the locomotive, this location is 1400 N. Elston Avenue. Looks like a Chicago mobster's ride (er, I mean, a Lincoln Town Car) in the frame, I better get outta here. According to the clock in the steeple, it's a quarter to four. Number 1078 was built by Baldwin in September 1952 as C&NW S12 1108 (c/n 75196), rebuilt by the C&NW in 1964-65 using new EMD 12-567C and retaining the Baldwin hood, renumbered to second 1078 in 1974, retired in June 1980, disposition unknown. |

C&NW S12M 1126 |
| Description: |
C&NW rebuilt Baldwin/EMD S12M 1126 at about Michigan Avenue and Illinois Street in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in July 1978, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The primary purpose of this track at the time of this photo was to serve the Chicago Tribune newspaper, generally moving boxcars of newsprint paper into the track in the foreground. On this day there is a parked automobile to be moved first, and while we're waiting, we have a few human interest stories unfolding. For instance, above the locomotive's headlight, (in the background) someone is unload something from a trunk, and a woman appears to be watching out. On the far center right is a security guard conversing with somebody. And the guys in the lower left decided to park between the trucks to discuss the day's events. The rails behind the locomotive lead to Navy Pier. During the Bi-Centennial, the American Freedom Train was moved (carefully) down these rails and displayed at Navy Pier for a few days. |
