Two Hump Units Humping |
| Description: |
Humping a train out of Proviso Yard 9 and over the hump, which is still many car lengths to the right, where they are uncoupled and roll through the retarders into the classification yard. The tall signals in the picture tell the engineers what to do, e.g., proceed at hump speed, back up, and stop. The caboose was probably part of the inbound train, which must have been very heavy to require that much hump power. |

C&NW BU4 |
| Description: |
Chicago and North Western Railway BU4 at Proviso Illinois on an unknown day in October 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number BU4 was built in October 1949 as C&NW TR2B 2000B (c/n 10023) on EMD Order E1305, was rebuilt December 15, 1961 to Yard Slug BU4, and mated with TR2A 2000A. It was retired May 1, 1980, sold to the KCS becoming KCS 4079. Note the interesting mix of trucks, one is likely in the shop. This appears to be the track the C&NW stored locomotives on temporarily. |

C&NW BU5 |
| Description: |
Chicago and North Western Railway Yard Slug BU5 at Proviso, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1979, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Number BU5 was built in October 1949 as TR2B 2001B (c/n 10024) on EMD Order E1305. On June 26, 1962 it was completed as Yard Slug BU5 and mated with its original control unit, TR2A 2001A. It was retired May 1, 1980, sold to the KCS, becoming KCS Yard Slug 4058. The open doors are the likely source of why this unit was sidelined. |

C&NW GP9 1755, Yard Slug BU7, and Probably SW1200 310 |
| Description: |
BU7 was built as switch engine model SC (predating the long-running SW series) as EMC 60 in Feb. 1937. It first road number was M&StL D438 then M&StL 60 then CNW 60. Then it was rebuilt to yard slug BU7 in Aug. 1963 and retired in Jan. 1979 (42 years in revenue service is a darn good career!). The number of its mother was not recorded but SW1200 #310 was its last known power unit. This slide was an unprojectable disaster. Fortunately I kept it and thanks to modern scanning technology and digital photo maniplation software it is just barely presentable. |
