Nostalgia & History > The City of LA, SF, etc. in January in Bensenville, IL

Rick Burn was out in the cold taking train pictures and caught these two trains. I'm showing you these mainly for the second photo. It's outstanding.

1 and 2. UP/MILW Train 104, The City of LA & SF and The Challenger, Bensenville, IL in January 1965.

3. UP/MILW Train 112, The City of Denver and City of Portland, Bensenville, IL in January 1965.


Enjoy summer while looking at Rick's pictures,
Marty Bernard

Cool photos. I enjoy the suttle things, like the marker lamps on the rear car and Train numbers in the indicators instead of unit numbers.

boiler dorm on the rear?

Looks like it...

Marty, wonderful winter scenes of fast trains. THANKS for posting these. --Kelly

I thought all UP E units had Mars lights.

The later E's and eventually the earlier ones when being serviced had solid Pyle lights installed.

Wonderful. Imagine streaking across Iowa on this magic carpet!

Thanks for posting.

No 2 brings back memories of similar views while holding train order hoops.

Why would you need a boiler/dorm? Just a bit of a chill in the air.

I shivered looking at these. Thanks for sharing!
