The smoke? After the diesels idled in Union Station for a while soot built up in the exhaust systems. The first time the engineer notched up you get what you see here: soot - moisture. |

First generation goodies |
| Description: |
Were passing the Chicago engine facility just outside Union Station, where first generation power is holding sway. A pair of Es, a GP 7 from the PC Valpo train, and an SW 1 shop switcher dominate the scene, quite typical of the time. Note the building in the background, the Continental Paper Grading Co. I had no idea my teachers were sending my term papers here to get graded. I thought they did it all themselves :-) |
