CRI&P E7 639
Title:  CRI&P E7 639
Description:  CRI&P E7 639, Blue Island, Illinois, October 1979, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Number 639 was built in February 1948 (c/n 3735) on EMD Order E712A. By the date of this photo, the Rock Island no longer operated trains, the commuter operations had been taken over by the Regional Transit Authority, which replaced these E units with F40PH's, and the freigh‹ operations were operated by the Kansas City Terminal, as directed by the ICC. The locomotive on the left, number 652, still in Bicentennial vaint, survived.

CRI&P RS2m 451
Title:  CRI&P RS2m 451
Description:  CRI&P E7 640 and RS2m 451 at Blue Island, Illinois, October 1979, photo by Chuck Zeiler. The E7 was built in February 1948 (c/n 3736) on EMD Order E712. The RS2m was built as an ALco RS2 during September 1948 (c/n 75953), and was sent to EMD in September 1957 for replacement of its Alco Model 244B prime mover with an EMD Model 567C. Although the 567C was capable of producing 1750 horsepower, it was rated at 1500 in this application, likely because of the reuse of the GE Model 752 traction motors. I do not know if the GE GT564C main generator was reused or if EMD's D12B was installed. The locomotive retained its as-built long hood forward configuration after the rebuilding.

CRI&P E7 641
Title:  CRI&P E7 641
Description:  CRI&P E7 641 at Roosevelt Road in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in July 1978, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. A question came up about those half tube shaped items just in front of and behind the four exhaust stacks of each prime mover. A modeling web site called them exhaust smoke lifters. The same site (address below) says the railroad modified the radiators, explaining the unusual radiator configuration seen here. Anyone know anything about this please leave a comment.
