MILW FP7 97A
Title:  MILW FP7 97A
Description:  MILW FP7 97A at Union Station in Chicago, Illinois on June 29, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in January 1951 (c/n 10363) on EMD Order 3073A, it was retired in May 1980. It is seen here at the head of Train #101, the UP's "City of San Francisco", departing Union Station at 6:00 PM CST, or 7:00 PM locally. A year previously, this scene would have been covered with a train shed, completed in 1925. The shed had been removed in preparation for the construction of a high rise office building to be built on the air rights over the tracks.

MILW FP7 105A
Title:  MILW FP7 105A
Description:  Milwaukee Road FP7 105A westbound at Galewood, Illinois on August 24, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in September 1952 (c/n 16946) on EMD Order 3130A, it was retired in May 1980 and scrapped by Precision National. I selected the location as Galewood because the software does not recognize the name Mars, which is the stop this train is approaching. Mars was named for the nearby industry Mars Candy Company, which also lent its name to the Mars light, a gyrating warning light seen in the upper headlight of this locomotive. Around 1936, prototypes were produced in the Mars Candy Company's machine shop by Jerry Kennelly, who applied for a patent for his figure 8 moving beam warning light, and assigned the design to Mars Light Company.
