Illinois Terminal Class D locomotive 74 Peoria 1950

Illinois Terminal Class D locomotive 74 at Peoria in 1950. These hefty 8-axle locomotives were home-built at the Decatur Shops starting at the beginning of World War II. A total of five were built, constructed by rebuilding some earlier Type C locos. They were the road's largest freight engines. This photo gives a particularly good view of the articulated frame.
