First generation goodies |
| Description: |
Were passing the Chicago engine facility just outside Union Station, where first generation power is holding sway. A pair of Es, a GP 7 from the PC Valpo train, and an SW 1 shop switcher dominate the scene, quite typical of the time. Note the building in the background, the Continental Paper Grading Co. I had no idea my teachers were sending my term papers here to get graded. I thought they did it all themselves :-) |

Good variety |
| Description: |
Im passing Amtraks Bear, Del shop on the southbound Crescent, where anything and everything is in attendance. We see a couple of F 40s, Es, two GG 1s and an E 60. All we need is an SDP40 and a Pooch to complete the picture. |

Es on the Central |
| Description: |
I rode the Niagara Rainbow to Schenectady, then served not by the station in use today, but by one Amtrak called Colonie-Schenectady, which was not near anything. After getting off, I was able to get a dark side shot of the train, led by the then typical pair of E's. |
