AT&SF F7 46C         
AT&SF F7 46C westbound at Joliet, Illinois on July 11, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 46C was built as the trailing cab of A-B-B-A locomotive 46 in October 1952 (c/n 17317) on EMD Order 6454. It was renumbered to 300C and leased to Amtrak in June 1971, returned to the AT&SF around October 1973. It was rebuilt to CF7 2543 in November 1973, later becoming INRD 2543. It is seen here leading the second section of Train #23, The Grand Canyon. Since it displays green flags, one would suppose that there is another section of #23 following.

Jeff Holdridge General Did they forget to touchup/paint the pilot of #46C silver before it left Dearborn Station? Thought that was a standard procedure before any passenger train left Chicago. 5/1/2014 12:29:17 AM
