Posted by Everywhere West on December 30, 2007  What a piece history ! I like the old cars. Posted by Scott Marsh on December 30, 2007  Wow nice catch with it in fresh paint too. Thanks for the scan Posted by Mike Bjork on December 30, 2007  What a cool find! Those truly are a piece of history. Posted by Greg Rourke on December 31, 2007  Piece of history? Absolutely. Attractive? Not so much. Thanks for the great photo. Posted by milepost56 on December 31, 2007  Wow, I was looking at that unit at LaSalle Street Station when the engineer invited us up into the cab. That was the biggest cab on the inside, you could have put a sofa behind the engineer and fireman. Posted by Bernie Feltman on December 31, 2010  Incredible photo, Donald Posted by RWHaave on September 2, 2011  This unit got the fresh paint because it was the 5th or 6th unit in the wreck at Montgomery in Sept, 1964. Posted by Donald Haskel on December 2, 2011  I rode behind this unit on commuter that ran on the back road. If I had know it was in a wreck I would have appreciated the new paint better. Most Rock Island power at this time was wearing faded maroon. If I could rewind to the 60’s I would have spent a lot more time in Chicago. Posted by Steve Larson on October 11, 2014  Nice catch, Don. A very unique unit. CRI&P surely did it right. Thanks for sharing.
