Nostalgia & History > Santa Fe Sunday from '76

Spent some time visiting Chicagoland back in March 1976. On a nice Saturday following a night filled with tornados the day before, I stopped at the Santa Fe facility at Corwith. One of those tornados went through the Milwaukee's yard at Bensenville.
#1. Several GP20's were seen around the yard.
#2. Big U36C's were typical road power of the day.
#3. These two Alco switchers look like they recently pulled from service.
