Milwaukee Road FP7A 98A Chicago IL 7-7-1971
Here's a shot of Milwaukee Road FP7A 98A charging through Chicago IL July 1971. There was no info on this slide but other shots of the 98A indicate service around Chicago around this date. It also looks as though the 98A was used for freight service in this time frame. The 98A was built in November 1951 and was retired in May 1978, later sold to Precision National in September 1978 and scrapped. In Milwaukee Road nomenclature this unit would be classed as EP-15 or EMD Passenger unit, 1500HP. The crewmember waving out the cab door is a nice touch. Chicago, IL July 7, 1971. Unknown Photographer Kodachrome from my Collection.
