On Friday morning, October 31st, 2008...I attended a small and unofficial railroad open house celebration geared topward local railfan photographers in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood. Central Illinois Railroad rebuilt 1950's era EMD model SW-9 Yard Switcher locomotive # 1206, was just repainted in to this commemorative quasi
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad color scheme, that dated back to the 1950's and 1960's era. The long vanished pre 1970 predecessor railroad Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, switched this industrial line with EMD yard switchers in this color scheme during this era. It was a pleasant blast from the past.
