Historic Photo! Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad EMD NW -2 switcher locomotive # 8730 at Blue Island Illinois. June 1975.
A really cool railfan photo page I discovered recently on the internet, is one known as Fallen Flags. Org. I liked it so much, that You can click on their link at the right side of Your computer screen now If You would like to.
This is an historic mid 1970's era Chicago area rail photo taken in south suburban Blue Island Illinois way back in June of 1975. The black and white color scheme image of the once parent company New York Central, was the look worn for many years by the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad.
Looking like something left over from the late 1950's era New York Central itself, IHB EMD NW-2 yard switcher locomotive # 8730, is viewed idling alongside a modern Conrail EMD roadswitcher at the engine servicing terminal in Blue Island Yard.
