CGW F3 107A
Title:  CGW F3 107A
Description:  Chicago Great Western Railway F3 107A in Chicago, Illinois on March 7, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in March 1948 (c/n 5004) on EMD Order E858A for 12 F3A's. It appear to have been retired without receiving a C&NW number. I believe that is Cicero Avenue passing over the tracks in the background.

MON F3A #109 - Monon RR
Title:  MON F3A #109 - Monon RR
Description:  Built in March of 1948, the unit was renumbered several times before ending up #109. According to the info on the original negative, this was taken at Hammond, IN - can anyone comfirm this location, possibly based on whether the site had these long switch lever rods to the right? The photo was made from an original negative taken by an unknown Chicago photographer.

Crossing the Rock Island
Title:  Crossing the Rock Island
Description:  I think that this picture is south of Inver Grove towards Rosemount at the CGW/ RI interlocking. You can see the double headed signal protecting the interlocking as the RI main headed south to Iowa and Kansas City. The CGW turned more southeast toward Chicago. When the CNW took over the RI, they now longer used the CGW route between the Twin Cities and Chicago. It was not long before they began ripping it up and tearing it out! Thank God that they did NOT get control of the Milwaukee double track with the Amtrak route between Chicago, Milwaukee and the Twin Cities. Who knows the things that then might have happened! One thing is perhaps true... the RI main south of the Twin Cities thru Albert Lea would probably been torn up also!
