IHB SW7 8839
Title:  IHB SW7 8839
Description:  Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad SW7 8839 and New York Central Railroad SW1 611 at the Chicago Junction yard in Chicago, Illinois on May 9, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Number 8839 was built in January 1950 (c/n 8130) on EMD Order E1136, became PC 8839 and possibly CR 8867, scrapped by the CR at Hollidaysburg. Number 611 was built in October 1950 (c/n 11768) on EMD Order 6115, and later became NYC/PC/CR 8437.

This is an interesting location, by the date of this photo, it is the property of the Chicago River & Indiana Railroad, a subsidiary of the New York Central Railroad. From the beginning of the 20th Century, this had been the property of the Chicago Junction Railway (a company formed by merging the Chicago and Indiana State Line, and Chicago, Hammond and Western on April 26, 1898) to form the Chicago Junction Railway, with the Union Stock Yard & Transit Company of Chicago (USY&T) as the parent company, and although the CJ owned but 2.185 miles of track, it appears that it was the last two miles into the Chicago Union Stock Yards, so if your intention was to get livestock delivered to the stockyards, you had to deal with the CJ (NYC). On May 19, 1922, the New York Central Railroad bought control of the Chicago River and Indiana Railroad (CR&I) and simultaneously leased the Chicago Junction to the CR&I. On August 26, 1958, the CR&I acquired the property of the Chicago Junction and lessor USY&T, and in 1976 the Conrail acquired the CR&I's lines.

NYC SW1 618
Title:  NYC SW1 618
Description:  NYC SW1 618, Chicago, Illinois, May 9, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Admittedly a bad photo, but it's all I have. The NYC had two SW1's numbered 618, the first was built in 1942. This one has a single taper from the hood to the cab, rectangular cab windows, and a twin sealed beam headlight, indicating that it is a late model (Phase II) SW1. That being the case, this locomotive was built in June 1950 (c/n 11785) on EMD Order 6116, was renumbered NYC 8444, then became PC 8444, and later became CR 8444. It was traded to EMD.

NYC SW1 657
Title:  NYC SW1 657
Description:  NYC SW1 657, Union Station, Chicago, Illinois, February 27, 1966, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built as number 607 in April 1939 (c/n 815) on EMC Order E217, class DES-6b on the NYC, it was renumbered to NYC 657, later to NYC 8455, then PC 8455. It is seen here on the north (Milwaukee Road) side of Union Station, likely transferring storage mail from the NYC to the Milwaukee Road. The Milwaukee held the mail contract between Chicago and the Twin Cities.
