C&NW F7 403
Title:  C&NW F7 403
Description:  Chicago and North Western Railway F7 403 southbound at Jefferson Park on the north side of Chicago, Illinois on May 25, 1982, photo by Chuck Zeiler. On the day of this photo (or maybe the day before) the C&NW dispatched its Executive F's to Baraboo, Wisconsin to bring the Circus World Museum's vintage circus train and wagons to Chicago. Upon arrival in downtown Chicago, the wagons will be unloaded and horses will lead them down Michigan Avenue in a Memorial Day parade (I got pictures of that too). As I recall the situation, this train was slowly moving and I was chasing the train, so I stopped and grabbed a photo. The gentleman pictured was a local resident, who inquired what I was doing in his back yard. I explained the special train, and he came out to wave. The trailing units are 2nd 400 (already showing signs of the bow in its frame that ultimately sidelined it) and F7 402, coupled to the business car 400.

C&NW 40th Street Shops
Title:  C&NW 40th Street Shops
Description:  Chicago & North Western Railway 40th Street Shops at Keeler Avenue in Chicago, Illinois on September 4, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was Keeler Avenue in Chicago, but it also went by the name 40th Street Shops. This particular building was known as M-19A to C&NW employees. Left to right: C&NW 503 was built as UP E2B 984C (originally, #LA3, c/n 743, EMC order number E158B, built October 1937), rebuilt by EMD in March 1953 to E8B 925B. After Amtrak took over rail passenger service in 1971, B-units were not in demand, and the C&NW picked up a few, this one entered C&NW service June 5, 1973. The C&NW added a homemade cab (Crandall Cab), and put the E-8Bm in commuter service. Number 400 is an Executive F, and yes that is a different yellow paint than the other units have (called Zito Yellow, a reference to Jim Zito, senior vice president-operations at the time that use of the paint began around 1980). This was the 2nd 400, delivered October 1949 to the C&NW as F-7 4084C (c/n 8573), retired January 8, 1985. The next two (#'s 406 and 413) are work-a-day commuter F-7's. Number 406 pictured was actually the 3rd 406. The first was Minneapolis & St. Louis (M&StL) F-7A 150A, and the second was Litchfield & Madison (L&M) RS-3 301, later 905. This one was built as C&NW F-7A 4086A in December 1949 (c/n 8576 on EMD order E1188), retired December 31, 1977, sold to the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) and leased back to the C&NW the very next day, January 1, 1978, retired from the RTA May 2, 1983. So, if this photo was shot on the date I say, there might be more research in order. Number 413 is the 2nd 413, the first being M&StL F-7 151C, retired in 1963. The one pictured above was delivered to the C&NW as 4083A (c/n 8750 on EMD order E1188) in December 1949, renumbered December 1971. It was retired from the C&NW December 31, 1977, sold the the RTA, and leased back to the C&NW the next day. Utahrails.net lists it as retired from the RTA on May 2, 1983, but I feel pretty good about the date of the photo, so perhaps some sort of arrangement took place to keep it on the road a bit longer. At the time of this photo, the C&NW was "Employee Owned", and the C&NW's Ball And Bar logo at the top of the building appears to have been adjusted accordingly.

C&NW F7 400
Title:  C&NW F7 400
Description:  Chicago and North Western Railway F7's 400 and 406 at Keeler Avenue (40th Street Shops), Chicago, Illinois, September 14, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I hope I get this right, there were two C&NW F7's numbered 400. Based on the MU cover (the other 400 had a surface-mounted plug) the locomotive on the left is number 400 was built in October 1949 as F7 4084C (c/n 8573) on EMD Order E1188, was renumbered to 415 during January 1972, was renumbered to 400 during 1982, retired (due to sagging frame) January 8, 1985, sold to Karsten Railcar Services, and it may be the 400 in Spooner, Wisconsin on the WGN. Number 406 was built in December 1949 as C&NW F7 4086A (c/n 8576) on EMD Order E1188, renumbered in 1971 to 406 (3rd), retired by the C&NW December 31, 1977, sold to the RTA and leased back. It was assigned RTA number 300, but that number was never applied. It was retired by the RTA May 2, 1983, and sold to St. Louis and Chain of Rocks Railroad, May 1985.
