B&O E7 1416         
B&O E7 1416 westbound at Pullman Junction located on the south side of Chicago, Illinois on April 20, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built as number 64 in February 1945 (c/n 1674) on EMD Order E492A, originally shared the road number with an E7A mate (which later became 1415), renumbered to 64A during April 1947, rebuilt by the B&O during February 1955, renumbered to 1416 during early 1957, sold for scrap to Naporano Iron and Metal (Newark, New Jersey) on May 17, 1968. I don't know what train this is, but it appears to be an Extra, judging by all the foreign coaches (either Milwaukee or UP) in the consist.

Eric Reinert General Were B&O passenger trains allowed to traverse Pullman Junction at speed or did they have to stop for clearance like all freight through here? 8/14/2015 4:38:42 PM
Chuck Zeiler General As I recall, some trains stopped, some trains rolled slowing and picked up orders, and some trains rolled through the junction at the authorized track speed. This particular train rolled through at restricted speed. 8/15/2015 11:15:32 AM
