| Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP7 210 at Naperville, Illinois on January 25, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in September 1951 (c/n 13179) on EMD Order 5072, it was equipped with a steam generator, which is capped with metal covers in this photo. This locomotive became BN 1566 and was retired in March 1983. It is seen here about to back the eastbound East End Way Freight across all three of the Burlington's three main tracks. The swiches are manned by two of the crewmen, and although they are manually operated, they are electrically locked by the dispatcher. Upon receiveing permission, the switches were unlocked and lined for the crossing move, and immediately relined for the main. The way freight will occupy Track 3 for about an hour or so, as he switches Moser Lumber on the south side, and then heads east for Downers Grove. |
