CRI&P U25B 209 |
| Description: |
CRI&P U25B 209 at Silvis, Illinois on June 5, 1984, Kodachrome by Jim Altman, Chuck Zeiler collection. This locomotive was built between September - October 1963 (c/n 34721). One source offers the following explanation of the lights on the corners of the cab: I believe the "frog" lights (as they were known) were installed to enhance visibility around curves and in tight areas such as yards and industry, sort of a precursor to the Ditch Lights. They were only applied to a handful of units, a pair of U25B's and at least one U28B. |

CRI&P U25B 225 |
| Description: |
Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad U25B 225 and U33B 296 at La Salle, Illinois on June 24, 1973, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 225 is a U25B, built in September 1965 (c/n 35701), and is equipped with frog eye headlights on the corners of the cab roof, an early form of ditch lights. The trailing unit is 296, a U33B built around September 1968 (c/n 36828). The occasion is a fan trip powered by Southern Railway's 2-8-2 4501, which is waiting for this train to clear so it can be wyed for the return trip to Chicago. |
