CR GP38-2 7990
Title:  CR GP38-2 7990
Description:  Conrail GP38-2 7990 at Englewood on the south side of Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in July 1978, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. In the background is Englewood Union Station (EUS), once a stop for passenger trains of the NYC, PRR, CRI&P and NKP. It fell into disuse after Amtrak and no longer exists. The primary purpose of EUS was a transfer point, rather than a destination. If you came in from the east, and wanted to go to, say southwest to Joliet, you could get the Rock Island train at Englewood, instead of going all the way into downtown Chicago and transferring there.

CR GP38-2 8013
Title:  CR GP38-2 8013
Description:  Conrail GP38-2 8013 at Roosevelt Road in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in March 1980, Kodacrome by Chuck Zeiler. Your guess is as good as mine. Either Amtrak experienced locomotive failure or the train was detoured, requiring the host railroad's locomotive to lead for signal or safety reasons.

I often carried dog biscuits in my camera bag to appease any unruly dogs I might encounter while photographing trains. Unfortunately for this particular dog, I was on my way to the lab with film from a photo shoot, and was snapping off the last few frames on train subjects, and did not have my camera bag with me.

CR N-8A 23660
Title:  CR N-8A 23660
Description:  Conrail Class N-8A 23660, location unknown, August 1981, photo by Chuck Zeiler. I'm pretty sure this was shot in the Chicago area. Built in 1948 by the International Car and Railway Equipment Company as a class NE6 for the New Haven (road #'s C635-C709), they were rebuilt by the Penn Central into class N8A around 1970. The windows in the cupola were sealed up, a water tank was suspended from the ceiling and bay windows were installed on its sides. In the upper right corner it is stencilled PC 23660.

CR Flexi-Flo 898080
Title:  CR Flexi-Flo 898080
Description:  Conrail Flexi-Flo 898080 at the BN yard in Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in July 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This appears to be an ACF design, called a "Center Flow Pressure Differential Tank Covered Hopper" in the 1966 edition of the Car and Locomotive Cyclopedia. It further states, "Unloads lading by fluidizing and introduction into air stream for conveyance to trucks or storage." The preceding description was for a NYC 70 ton car. This car was stenciled: NEW 3-75 , CAPY 200000 , LT.WT 58400 , H58 . Presumably, this was the 100 ton version of the Flexi-Flo design.
