CRI&P F7 677 |
| Description: |
CRI&P F7 677, La Salle Street Station, Chicago, Illinois, October 31, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Note the UP business car, possibly bringing visiting officials to Chicago for discussions with Rock Island officials. There was a merger plan around this photo date, but it never went through. Number 677 was built in March 1949 (c/n 6141) on EMD Order E975A. Number 751 was built as 1000 horsepower AB6 751 in June 1940 (c/n 1067) on EMC Order E306B, originally containing a baggage section where the second prime mover would have been. This proved to be insufficient to power the Colorado Springs section of the Rocky Mountain Rocket, and it was returned to EMD for installation of a second prime mover. During 1965, the steam generator was replaced with a HEP generator, and it was assigned to suburban service. It was sold for scrap November 1973. |

CRI&P 751 in 1969 |
| Description: |
An AB6 had an E6B carbody modified with a single 1000 h.p. engine, windows and controls at one end, baggage compartment, and steam generator. Only two were built by EMD in June 1940 for the Rock Island (#s 750 and 751) for the Rocky Mountain Rocket (Google it). The train would run from Chicago to Limon, CO with an EA-unit on the front and an AB6 second. The train was split at Limon with the AB6 taking a few cars to Colorado Springs and the other unit taking the rest of the cars to Denver. The reverse happened on the trip to Chicago. Of course over the years there were variations on this theme. The six pictures I am posting are about how the EA6s lived out there lives in commuter service in Northeastern, Illinois. A second diesel was added in the baggage compartment making each a full E-unit. Enjoy! |
