Here are two Rock Island selections, both SW1's.

Photo 1: #544 at Armourdale Yard in KC in July of 1976

Photo 2: #4801 at 47th St in Chicago, probably in the mid to late 70's

2nd photo is at the Rocket House, I think. Public housing in background.

Second is the coach engine at the 51st Street Coach yard across from the Robert Taylor Apartments. The elevated mainlines are behind him and the 47th Street Rocket house is to the left of the photo. You can see the sand tower in the background.
