C&NW E8 5026A |
| Description: |
Chicago & North Western Railway E8 5026A at about Kinzie Street in Chicago, Illinois on August 19, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I sure needed my street light filter this day. The first two cars (single level club cars, aka 'banker's cars') are privately owned by Commuter Associates, Inc. for their exclusive use. Club car service began on the C&NW's commuter lines on April 1, 1929 with a single heavyweight converted coach numbered 6700. As the coach wore out, it was replaced over time, but the replacements were assigned the number 6700. Eventually the service expanded and at its peak (around 1965) it consisted of four cars: 6700, 510, 553, and 555. The last three car numbers related to time; 510 was the historic departure time, 533 and 555 were the arrival times at Lake Forest and Lake Bluff respectively. As service declined, the service demanded less cars, but one remained in service as of the year 2009. Note also that the colors are changing on the equipment, and the club cars will eventually be repainted in RTA colors. |

C&NW F7 409 |
| Description: |
C&NW F7 409 at the C&NW Station throat, roughly Clinton and Lake Streets in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in July 1978, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I'm getting conflicting information about this locomotive (Utahrails.net list two different c/n's), so it'll take me a bit to sort it out. Here's what the consensus is so far: Number 409 was built in March 1949 as C&NW F7 4068A (c/n 6600) as a freight F7, regeared in 1959 for passenger service, a Cummins diesel generator set for 440VAC auxiliary power was installed and it was assigned to suburban service. In 1971 it was renumbered to 409, on December 31, 1977 it was sold to the RTA and leased back the next day. It was retired by the RTA May 2, 1983, sold to Rails Diversified Inc as 409 in March 1985, resold to Winchester & Western, resold to Maryland Midland RR as 100, resold to Short Line Enterprises as Fillmore & Western 100. In the background is C&NW E8 5027A. |
