CRI&P E8 643
Title:  CRI&P E8 643
Description:  CRI&P E8 643, Joliet, Illinois, June 1973, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built as EMD's E8 demonstrator #952 in August 1949 (c/n 10306) on EMD Order E952, it was sold to the Rock Island in April 1950, becoming 643. It is seen here eastbound at Joliet. Unfortunately, the crowd is not for the Rock Island but for the soon to arrive steam excursion powered by Southern's 2-8-2 #4501.

AT&SF U30CG 8005
Title:  AT&SF U30CG 8005
Description:  AT&SF U30CG 8005 at Joliet, Illinois on June 24, 1973, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in November 1967 as AT&SF U30CG 405 ( c/n 36351 ), it was basically a U30C with a cowl superstructure. The original design had the rounded nose flush with the pilot front, but the Santa Fe rejected this, and the locomotives were fitted with a front walkway. Only six U30CG's were built, numbered 400-405. The intended assignment was the Grand Canyon Limited, but that ended on February 9, 1969 when a U30CG derailed hauling the Grand Canyon Limited on Edelstein Hill near Chillicothe, Illinois. The U30CG design was suspected, and both classes of GE passenger locomotives ( U30CG and U28CG ) were placed on freight assignments and the U30CG's renumbered to 8000-8005. The folks pictured were waiting for Southern 2-8-2 4501, due in Joliet soon after this train passed.
