MILW E9 35A
Title:  MILW E9 35A
Description:  Milwaukee Road E9 35A at Union Station in Chicago, Illinois on February 27, 1966, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in May 1956 as 205A (c/n 21611) on EMD Order 2075A, it was renumbered 35A and eventually became Amtrak 409 (First). It is seen here loading passengers as demolition of Union Station continues. The first part was the removal of the train sheds on the north side, exposing the Milwaukee trains to the elements for the first time since the station was completed in 1925. The next step is the removal of everything above street level to make room for glass and steel office buildings on the air rights.

It is seen at Union Station in Chicago as the demolition of everything above street level continues. The first step was the removal of the train sheds over the Milwaukee Road's tracks which allowed (briefly) photos of trains in daylight. This will be covered over shortly by office buildings built on the air rights.

Built in April 1961 (c/n 26567) on EMD Order 7596A, class 24-EP on the MILW, one source has it going to the Regional Transit Authority (RTA) as 37A, and it now resides at the Illinois Railway Museum. This is not the original platform lighting for Union Station, these are bare bulb work lights. At the time of this photo, the station and north platforms sheds were in the process of being torn down in preparation for construction of glass and steel office buildings over the air rights.

UP E9 914
Title:  UP E9 914
Description:  Union Pacific Railroad E9 914 at Denver Union Station in Denver, Colorado on August 26, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Unfortunately, I did not record this train's number, so my best guess (consulting the June 1965 Official Guide) is that this was unnamed Train 6-8, originating in Los Angeles and continuing on to Chicago. I have several photos of this same train, one shows the locomotives being fueled at the station platform, so it was a through train. The lighting suggests that this was a morning departure from Denver, and Train 6-8 departed Denver at 10:15 AM.
