| CRI&P U28B 248 westbound at La Salle, Illinois, June, 1973, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in March 1966 (c/n 35914). It was built utilizing the carbody design of the last run of U25B's (Phase IV carbody). The crowd on hand is for the following train, a steam excursion featuring Southern 2-8-2 4501. There appears to be an unusual load cut in behind the power. |
