Nostalgia & History > Zito Yellow was bright!Date: 01/20/20 13:16 Zito Yellow was bright! Author: ghemr Even though it's starting to fade and weather, this paint is unmistakably eye-catching!
CNW GP40 5517 started out as NYC 3028 (later PC and CR same number) and NW GP30 2903 is former NKP 903. This Proviso to Calumet Yard transfer run is dead on the main track adjacent to NS's Landers Yard in Chicago on 3-19-88  Date: 01/20/20 13:50 Re: Zito Yellow was bright! Author: Englewood I thought that razor wire looked familiar. There to keep the railfans out.

that day. After we finished up, we drove to Landers, got that train and took it Calumet. It may take me more time to find my book than it took us to get to Calumet. Was a nice move, especially since we were on OT. This was a Saturday, so had no Metra trains to worry about. Many, many thanks for this great memory. Date: 01/20/20 14:12 Re: Zito Yellow was bright! Author: refarkas Yes, it was! I remember it well.

The connection between the two railroads has been there since the 1930's and most likely way before that.... |
