NKP NW2 17 |
| Description: |
Nickel Plate Road NW2 17 at Pullman Junction on the south side of Chicago, Illinois on April 20, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in February 1948 (c/n 6088) on EMD Order E854, classed as ES-10c, it became N&W 2017 in July 1967, was retired July 10, 1974, sold to Martiki Coal Company (Lovely, Kentucky) becoming 17 again. Also of interest is the trailing caboose, N&W 559023. One can only speculate about a relatively recently overhauled wood caboose, with cupola markers no less. My best guess is that it was part of a restoration project that got cancelled when the merger came about, but I have no facts to back that claim up. |

N&W 559023 |
| Description: |
N&W 559023 at Pullman Junction on the south side of Chicago, Illinois on March 20, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. As best I can tell, this was a NKP caboose. The markers are not displayed because the caboose is actually leading this train. |
