| CRI&P AB6 750 at 47th Street, Chicago, Illinois, June 13, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in June 1940 (c/n 1066) on EMC Order E306B, it was powered by a single 12-567 prime mover and a baggage door where the door over the fuel tank is located. Later a second prime mover was added. I cannot find the exact date, but photos shot in 1957 show a second prime mover and no baggage door. Sometime during 1965, the steam generator was replaced by a HEP power plant, and the unit was assigned to suburban service. It was sold for scrap to Joliet Railway Equipment during January 1974. |
