American Freedom Train 1 arriving in Kankakee, Illinois on July 27, 1975, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. There must have been a dozen or so photographers standing around me, where the heck are their photos? There are even a couple of folks right up by the drivers. |

| Description: |
American Freedom Train 1 at about Lake Street and Cicero Avenue in Chicago, Illinois on July 27, 1975, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The AFT was routed over the Belt Railway of Chicago to get from the ICG to the C&NW. It is seen here passing under the CTA's Lake Street elevated and is almost at the C&NW's 40th Street yard. I would have paid money to have the CTA park a couple of their bicentennial cars on the overpass for this occasion. |

The AFT was routed over the Belt Railway of Chicago to get from the ICG to the C&NW. It is seen here passing under the CTA's Lake Street elevated and is almost at the C&NW's 40th Street yard. The cutoff at the left is the result of my pushing a 36 exposure roll of film to 37. You know I prayed for a CTA train to pass over during this. |

AFT 1 |
| Description: |
On July 27, 1975 The American Freedom Train had just arrived in the Chicago area. Upon arrival, it was first wyed (over greased rails at one point) and then hauled to Navy Pier for a few days of exhibition. This photo shows the train after it was turned but before being moved to Navy Pier. At this point the train was awaiting a C&NW switch engine to haul the train backward to Navy Pier. Due to light rails and clearance restrictions, the locomotive was left behind. As I understand it, the locomotive was moved somewhere near the Merchandise Mart for viewing. |

American Freedom Train 40 |
| Description: |
American Freedom Train Exhibition Car 40 on Illinois Street below Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois on July 27, 1975, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Car 40 contained a model of the B&O 'Arabian' steam locomotive, the Friendship Fire Engine from George Washington's fire company, and a 1904 Oldsmobile Runabout 'The Old Scout' that won the first transcontinental auto race. . The car was a former NYC baggage car. This was a switching move. The steam locomotive power (AFT 1) was cut off and C&NW MP15DC 1306 pulled the AFT from C&NW's 40th Street yard to Navy Pier for a couple of days of public viewing. Even though it was a switching move, the AFT was lit up and on display for all to see, in this case a couple of Chicago Tribune employees. |

American Freedom Train 41 |
| Description: |
American Freedom Train Exhibition Car 41 at Navy Pier in Chicago, Illinois on July 28, 1975, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. As far as I can tell, this was a replica Lunar Rover. Four working rovers were built, three are still on the Moon, unless space aliens car-jacked (rover-jacked?) them. The fourth rover was for spare parts. Several replicas were made for display at various space agencies, this particular replica was on loan from the Smithsonian and is currently on display at Epcot Center. |

American Freedom Train on display at Navy Pier in Chicago, Illinois on July 28, 1975, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The car nearest the camera was former Southern baggage car 545 and contained storage for the concessions. If I recall correctly, the upper viewing cost nothing, but to get down below had an admission cost. I was cheap. |

| Description: |
American Freedom Train 205, The Press Car, on display at Navy Pier in Chicago, Illinois on July 28, 1975, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is from freedomtrain.org: AFT Observation Car #205, "The Press Car": Originally Reading commuter coach #1329, the Press Car was likely built by Standard Steel Car in 1922. While on the AFT it was most often referred to as the "Press Car" and had all the facilities journalists would need to report their stories on the AFT -- desks, typewriters, and even telephones wherever a phone line could be brought to the train. |

On August 4, the train was pulled from Navy Pier to Proviso, and the locomotives were exchanged in a brief ceremony. Obviously, I forgot my car and people filters. |

Facing the 4449 is AFT 1, former RDG 2101, which will receive mechanical attention and return to AFT duties almost a year later. This was as close as I was allowed to get. |
