CRI&P E7 641
Title:  CRI&P E7 641
Description:  CRI&P E7 641 at Roosevelt Road in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in July 1978, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. A question came up about those half tube shaped items just in front of and behind the four exhaust stacks of each prime mover. A modeling web site called them exhaust smoke lifters. The same site (address below) says the railroad modified the radiators, explaining the unusual radiator configuration seen here. Anyone know anything about this please leave a comment.

MEC E7A #706 - Maine Central
Title:  MEC E7A #706 - Maine Central
Description:  Maine Central #706 built by EMD in June of 1946 (bldr #3367) sits waiting at the North Station in Boston. Next to it is Boston & Maine #1564 with BM #1567 in the far distance next to the building. Interesting sidenote - MEC #705-711 had no dynamic brakes or steam generators and MEC #705-708 were a canceled Rock Island order, They were delivered to MEC still in Rock Island paint. MEC #705-709 were sold to the Kansas City Southern with #706 renumbered to KCS #7 on 10/17/63. Eventually KCS traded #7 to EMD on 9/2/68 and sit was crapped. unknown photographer.

MEC E7A #706 - Maine Central
Title:  MEC E7A #706 - Maine Central
Description:  Nice color slide taken by Gerald H. Landaue of Maine Central E7A #706 heading up the "Kennebec" passenger train The date on the slide is February, 1974 which is obviously incorrect for a number of reasons. Trees with leaves for one. This loco was sold to KCS and remumbered #7 in October of 1963 for reason #2. And most telling, the loco was scrapped in 1969. So, the date is approximate and based partly on the cars in the photo, mostly late 1950's models.
