C&NW F7 410
Description:
Chicago & North Western Railway F7's 410 and 406 at the C&NW's Madison Street Station in downtown Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 410 was the third of four locomotives to carry the road number 410 on the C&NW. This one was built October 1949 as C&NW F7 4082A (c/n 8568) on EMD Order E1188, geared for freight service (62:15). During 1959 it was regeared (57:20) and equipped with Cummins diesel generator set for 440VAC auxiliary power for Chicago suburban service. It was renumbered to 410 during 1971, sold to the RTA December 31, 1977, leased back the next day, assigned RTA number 304 (likely never applied), retired by the RTA in May 1985 and sold to Saint Louis and Chain of Rocks Railroad.

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
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.
