GTW Tr. #549 with GTW 4540 & 4542
Title:  GTW Tr. #549 with GTW 4540 & 4542
Description:  Chuck reports: "It is the morning of January 5, 1971. Yesterday, we worked north from Pontiac to Pigeon, MI on Train #549 (Work Extra 4540) and tied-up in Pigeon. We stayed overnight in the Pigeon Hotel, which was only a block to the west. This morning, we will switch the elevator and the C&O interchange and then depart south as the Work Extra 4542, Train #552. Two items to notice...on our train. We have one of the former ATSF steel cabooses. These were originally very rough riders; however, the ones used in local service were re-equipped with archbar truck removed from the GTW wooden road cabs and rode much smoother! Also note in the back left, the joint C&O(PM)-GTW Freight House. This stood directly across from the joint C&O-GTW el-shaped depot, which was behind our train. I think that this may be the only photo that I ever shot that included the freight house. It was very small and I believe did not have any windows. I wish that I had taken a photo of it specifically...no foresight! Also in the background is our southbound train, which we left in the siding south of the diamond. This siding incidentally also had an adjacent dirt with wood-cribbing loading platform to unload flatcars and boxcars. The platform was on the north end of the siding and on the west side of the track. You see how much snow is on the units...you should have seen them by the time we got back to Pontiac! I had to crawl out the window and shovel off the walkway! I wanted to take a photo of them then; but it was dark, and I did not have a tripod...another missed opportunity. Lastly, you will notice the white flags on both units...they just came out of the roundhouse that way and the engineer just never removed the unnecessary ones. The PO&N was always my favorite job!"

Train 428
Title:  Train 428
Description:  Here is GTW Train #428 enroute from Battle Creek to Detroit, MI on June 27, 1963. The photo was shot at Royal Oak. The units are 4542-413_ and ____. This train operated as a turn, with two crews (one going out each day) from Milwaukee Jct. to Battle Creek and return. It was ordered for 6:30 a.m. each day. The crews worked every other day. The train would be made-up either at East Yard or Ferndale. The train, #427, would set-out and pick-up at Pontiac, once in a while set-out at Durand, and set-out and pick-up at Lansing and yard at Battle Creek. It would then get its eastbound train with the same engines and caboose and operate as #428. Eastward they would usually just pick-up at Lansing, and set-out and pick-up at Pontiac. At Detroit the train would yard at Ferndale and the power and cab would be taken to the roundhouse at Milwaukee Jct. The cab was kept in the Houlihan (the small wye inside the Port Huron Wye at Milwaukee Jct.). Generally this train made it over the road in 12 to 14 hours...sometime it would take the full 16. It usually handled a lot of auto parts and often empty coal hoppers back from Lansing. This was a no nonsense high-paying job. It ran 278 miles, so that was almost three days pay in one! It took high seniority to hold it; but believe me, the shippers got good service!

GTW GP9 4542

Description:  GTW GP9 4542 at Valparaiso, Indiana on October 23, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is a bonus photo, shot just before the arrival of ex-GTW 5629, a 4-6-2 steam locomoive leading a fantrip. I believe the 5629 was owned by Dick Jensen by this date.
