Bicentennial Display by NAPM Model Railroad Club Via Flickr: Eight locomotives in bicentennial liveries assemble for a special event in NAPM's Ottawa yard in 1975. This photo was inspired by an iconic prototype photo taken by Trains magazine at the Belt Railway of Chicago's 87th Street yard; it was taken during a special NAPM photo session featuring 22 member-owned bicentennial locomotives.

Soo Line Kingsbury & Ontario Chicago June 1990 by Tom Burke Via Flickr: The crew in the ex-Milwaukee Road MP15 was taking a break while waiting to retrieve an empty boxcar from Wallace Business Forms on the other side of the bridge carrying the Ohio/Ontario Feeder Ramps to the Kennedy Expressway. Scan of a 35mm slide whose details blurred in 35 years of storage. From my notes on the slide package it was the last documented run by the Soo Line on this far end of the former Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston (C&E) Line which was cut back in 1985 to Grand Avenue and the track alongside Wallace. Signs of the 1985 track rationalization and rebuilding are evident in the Styrofoam still visible used to keep the flangeways open while the concrete was being poured. The following year service would be cut back to just north of Division Street on the C&E.

CP Heading North C&E Line Lakewood at Schubert Chicago September 18 2002 by Tom Burke Via Flickr: “The only time I caught this MP15 in its very unusual paint scheme was on an early fall day way back in 2002 on the former Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston (C&E) Line. The crew was traveling light to pick up an empty tank car from Peerless Confectionery. Note the battered Griswold crossing signal-the Milwaukee Road was its largest customer. The Milwaukee Road was able to successfully petition the ICC in 1979 to stop maintaining signals on the C&E due to frequent vandalism in the pre-gentrification era. In return it was reduced to 10MPH speeds and flagging major crossings. Less than five years later this scene would just be a memory as Peerless went out of business in May of 2007 and with it freight service on this stretch of the C&E by CP successor Chicago Terminal.”
