CRI&P E8 649
Title:  CRI&P E8 649
Description:  Rock Island E8 649 at 47th Street in Chicago, Illinois on March 28, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The paint looks a little strange because it just came off the wash rack. For the life of me, I don't know why the Rock Island did not continue those nose stripes down the carbody.

CRI&P E8 649
Title:  CRI&P E8 649
Description:  CRI&P E8 649 in the dead line at 47th Street, Chicago, Illinois, May 1979, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Number 649 was built in July 1951 (c/n 14281) on EMD Order 2032A. It is seen here in the dead line just south of the Rocket House at 47th Street. By this date, these locomotives had been replaced by F40PH's and the Rock Island's commuter service was being operated by the Regional Transit Authority which owned the F40PH's, and was in the process of replacing the Rock's 1920's era commuter coaches, in some cases, borrowing equipment from other RTA routes (C&NW and Milwaukee Road bi-level coaches were seen on the Rock Island for a while). Keeping the 649 company is E8 653 and several other unidentified E8's.

CRI&P E8 651
Title:  CRI&P E8 651
Description:  CRI&P E8 651, Eola, Illinois, October 11, 1964, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in March 1952 (c/n 15198) on EMD Order 2047A. See this address for a full report on this accident: http://railfan44.blogspot.com/2014/01/major-passenger-train-wreck-montgomery.html . Briefly, this was the second of six Rock Island locomotives (656, 651, 633, 750, 638 and 636) in a combined train (#'s 4 and 10) that was re-routed over the CB&Q because of a faulty bridge in the Rock Island's track. It was holding at Montgomery, Illinois, waiting for CB&Q's Train #3 to clear the interlocking, but #3 was routed by mistake into the standing Rock Island train, hitting it at approximately 52 mph, destroying both lead locomotives and killing four people.

CRIP 652
Title:  CRIP 652
Description:  Nine years before becoming famous as the RI's fan-painted Bicentennial unit, we see the RI 652 leading the remnant of the Rocky Mountain Rocket through Pilcher Park between New Lenox and Joliet. From what I understand, the trailers were hauling magazines from a publisher in Des Moines to be shipped out of Chicago. Like the 1275 in photo 2, the 652 survives today, stored outside at Mid-America Car in Kansas City, awaiting restoration (again).
