Great selection. I believe CNW 170 was the last operating FM H16-66 in the old carbody.

looks like Baldwin trucks on that #170. Neat looking unit.

Looks like the pilot on #170 has been abused somewhere.... Nice series!

Marty, I believe Image #1 is when the RSD5 was delivered to chicago for transfer of ownership to Gary Baloun.  It would next go to Janesville, WI and be leased to the Chicago Madison and Northern.   Notice the stack is capped.   Dave

Thanks for posting, Marty.  #3 is at the C Street SW crossing with the, by the tme of the photo, abandonded Rock Island crossing overhead.  The area we discussed several days ago.
