Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP7 234 westbound on the East End Way Freight at Naperville, Illinois on July 30, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. You may notice some lumber on the locomotive's walkway. This was rejected wood from one of the lumber yards switched by the way freight, either split or warped, that was tossed on a scrap pile. It was "acquired" by one of the crew and placed on the walkway where it would be conveniently spotted near the parked automobile of said crew member when the locomotive was terminated near the the Eola roundhouse at the end of the day. |
