Nostalgia & History > A Chicago Great Western Doodlebug

Here is a surprise.  Among Walt Dunlap's slides I found a duplicate slide of CGW Doodlebug 1009 in Richardson, IL on June 11, 1950, photographed by G. E. Lloyd.  I went on a Google fishing trip and found this:

"1009 was built by Electro-Motive in December 1932, #506.  The body was built by Pullman under order 6415.  It was re-engined with a Sterling in 1947 scrapped at Oelwein in October 1953. " Source: https://donsdepot.donrossgroup.net/dr130.htm

The duplicate slide was very red.  The shot was taken in the late afternoon.  I took out some red but didn't want to go any farther.

Enjoy,
Marty Bernard
