One of the very early shots of Dixiana after her restoration in the early 1960′s (doesn’t even have her name yet). She had a very nice pilot made for her by the restoration crew, making her look a lot like the Shay locomotives owned by the Mt. Tamalpais and Muir Woods Railroad. However the crew soon figured out why Shays were not commonly fitted with cow catchers because it was smashed off when the locomotive ran into some of the work cars a few weeks after it was attached.

Westbound at Joliet

One more early image, taken the same day as my previous post...

The train pictured may be the famed Super-C, a hot TOFC train that ran between Chicago and the west coast. It's westbound near the tower at Joliet once again. The Santa Fe ran parallel to the GM&O at this spot; the train will cross the Rock Island within seconds.

The lead locomotive is an SD45-2 built in May of 1974, so only a little over a year old. It has a 20-cylinder prime mover that produced 3600 horsepower.

One photograph by Richard Koenig; taken September 20th 1975.
