Chicago West Pullman & Southern (CWP) 47 - EMD SW9

EMD built Chicago, West Pullman & Southern SW9 #47 (serial #16829) in November of 1952. After working CWP for nearly 29 years, it was sold to the Bayou Steel Company as their #47. Hoosier rail fan Dick Barry took this grainy b&w photo of Chicago & West Pullman SW9 #47 which is now in my rr collection.

Caught by an unknown photographer, this Chicago, West Pullman & Southern EMD SW9 unit built in 1952 shuffles a coal train around while the conductor watches the action as he waits by the signal to be thrown.
