Nostalgia & History > Maroon Monday - They don't get newer than this

Ken Lanovich photo.
No notes on slide.  Process date December 1978.

Ken's job as a cement truck driver often gave him access to areas a normal railfan could not enter.
In this case the EMD plant.

In high res it looks lilke the 4365

Kudo's to Ken for that photo. The beginning of the end with that paint scheme.

 Great photo! I want to say that Murphy Motor Express was the primary trucking company used by EMD to deliver parts between the component plant on 103rd St in Chicago and the main plant in McCook. There was never a shortage of their trailers on the properties...

I remember locomotive engine blocks moving on flatbed trailers,
heading west on 95th St. through Evergreen Park.
