Indian Hill & Iron Range 302 Aug61 2
A pair of nifty color prints of Indian Hill & Iron Range 302 from August 1961 that I just picked up, no photographer listed. The caption reads "Toledo, Peoria and Western 302, built as Lima-Hamilton demonstrator 1004 in April 1950, and sold to TP&W November 1950, sold by the TP&W to H. Bairstow Company, Contractors, Chicago where railfan crew arranged to have paint scheme shown above (by Howard Fogg) applied, along with "Indian Hill and Iron Range" name".
In this photo the main body color looks green, in the other it looks blue.
Bairstow operated a rotary car dumper along the shore of Lake Michigan at Whiting Indiana, just across the border from the far southeast side of Chicago where my grandmother lived. It took in carloads of slag from the nearby steel mills and dumped it into trucks for distribution. I never saw it in operation, but the rotary car dumper sat there abandoned for many years and I took quite a few pictures of it as a kid exploring the area around Colehour yard. You can check out the pictures in the album.
