Sponsored by the 470 RR Club, BAR F3 no. 502 and GP-7 no. 23 stop for a break at Oakfield Station.

GM&O's commuter run from Chicago to Joliet was known as the Plug, and was a fixture at Joliet in the early evening for many years.

GM&O's F-unit fleet hung on relatively intact for several years after the ICG merger. Here rare F7A 811B, one of only 2 on the railroad, waits with F3's for another call south.

A drive along the old GM&O main near Springfield yielded this meet with no less than 8 F-units on the point of the north and south long locals.

Sponsored by the 470 RR Club, BAR F3 no. 502 and GP-7 no. 23 lay over at Madawaska, to run to Northern Maine Junction the following day.

ARHS and Tri-State NRHS CNJ painted F3's lead a Rail Tours Inc. Fall Foliage train westward along Rt. 54 on C&S RR's former CNJ Nesquehoning Branch.

Sponsored by the 470 RR Club, BAR F3 no. 502 and GP-7 no. 23 run around the passenger cars (from were the photo was taken) putting the 502 as the leader southbound for the remainder of the trip.
