Nice pics- Thanks.
I had no CB&Q U25C pics till now...
very cool pics....thanks for posting them!
Wonder why the big Burlington locomotives were running through Joliet Union Station on the GM&O and ATSF trackage? Seems like pooling of power was much more limited in 1971. Also wonder how this matched trio of locomotives escaped BN green 1 year+ after the BN merger? Always thought the Rock Island paint scheme looked good on the U boats.
Nice pics. My dad worked for NYC up there and often mentioned The Chicago Skyway. Have any more in that area? Thanks for posting. John
