Two crew members of the Central Illinois Railroad, Kevin (left) and Bob ( to the right) Posed for this photo from the cab of Central Ilinois Railroad rebuilt 1950's era EMD model SW-9 switcher # 1206. Crew members Kevin, Bob and John, really put together a very nice open house/ special occasion on Friday, October 31st 2008 at the company's railroad headquarters at 918 West Cermak Road in Chicago Illinois. Approxiamtely 15 railfan photographers plus the three man railroad crew, enjoyed perfectly sunny and mild weather with 69 Degree Farenheight late morning temperatures.
