Eastbound at IJ Tower

Here's an eastbound job at the tower, and it has an F-unit in the consist, which I'm sure would have thrilled me at the time. If the number 1681, that's an F7 built in 1950 for the NYC.

While this resembles the Penn Central, Conrail is three months old; this train is on the former New York Central (Big Four). IJ Tower is one mile west of Indianapolis Union Station according to a mile marker here. The B&O and P&E joins the NYC for the run to the station, and the Pennsy is running parallel to all just to the south. I'll add a map in here to show the lay of the land.

Peoria & Eastern

Here's a Peoria & Eastern GP7 for you, built in 1950; the road was affiliated with the Big Four/New York Central, but these locomotives were lettered for the P&E.

After getting some help on-line, I’m pretty certain this was taken near Maple Street in Urbana, Illinois. This makes sense in that the P&E did come through here.
