Small world! Just for 'a certain other substance' (shits) + giggles, I took a peek at my master SFe image file. On March 30, 1978 I shot the 5563 ahead of a pre-'72, pinstripe paint scheme on train 811 BH-1 coming into Emporia, KS. The odds are high that its the same train in your shot at Joliet. Do you have a "train" shot, or is the roster shot all you have??

PS: I'm headed for Photoshop (the noun) so I can Photoshop (the verb) my image for posting later today. Don't touch that dial... ;^)

My other photo can be seen using the Image Index part of Trainorders. It shows a different view and part of a trailer.
