Saint Louis Southwestern Railway F7 969 at Eola, Illinois on January 1, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in September 1952 ( c/n 17424 ) on EMD Order 6440. It is seen here in an eastbound CB&Q freight at Eola. Although the locomotive appears to be MUed to the CB&Q power, it was traded to EMD in January 1966. The following are comments by Ed Cooper and Bob Campbell:
Cotton Belt Locomotives states this unit was sold to EMD in January 1966. Cotton Belt sold seven F7s to EMD between January and March 1966. The train is eastbound and the 969 is going in to EMD on its last ride. Track orientation through Eola is east-west. The sun is always south in the northern hemisphere, especially in January. This photo is well lit so the sun is behind the photographer. It also appears that this unit has a blown engine as evidenced by the oil on the side. It is 13 years old and not fully depreciated. And the following are comments by Bob Campbell:
Ed Cooper got it correct - the train is eastbound, departing off the "Running Track" at the east end of the East Yard, Eola, heading for Clyde. I suspect the F7 went all the way in to Clyde roundhouse due to the elimination of firemen in freight service as a result of Board Award 282 in 1964. If the head brakeman broke the MU connections properly between the 982 and the SSW 969 at Congress Park, he would be entitled to a day's pay for assuming "fireman's" work. The Congo would have brought the F7 back to Congress Park later that day (maybe).
Chuck Zeiler got the direction wrong in his original caption and his second photo clearly shows the stack for Reber Packing Company which was on the north side of the mains and just west of Eola Road. In both photos, the track in the foreground is the EJ&E transfer where the "J" would pick-up transfers from the "Q".
Judging by all the oil on the carbody, fuel tank and L2 brake cylinder (which are Federal defects), I'm reasonably certain the 969's prime mover is no longer functioning, even though the air has been MU'ed with the rest of the consist (perfectly normal-no need to "boxcar" the F7). My two cents worth.
We're at Union Terminal in April 1970 as a westbound Chicago & North Western commuter train rolls out behind an F7.
The locomotive is a Walthers model. Photo by Mark Mathu. This image is a composite of 16 photos taken with an iPhone 8 Plus held upside down to get the lens near the ground shot at different focus distances, then combined into a single fully focused image using Helicon Focus software. The volunteers at photoshopgurus.com fixed a burned-out light bulb in the photo.

Kansas City Southern Railway F7 71 at Heavener, Oklahoma, slide mount stamped JUN 81. By matching the hand-written road number on the mount with other slides in my collection, it looks like Kodachrome by Paul L. Strang, Chuck Zeiler collection. Other than the number 71, the slide was unmarked. Paul's comments: Just to east of Heavener, OK shop on Y. This is the power for the Arkansas Western branch to Waldron, AR.
The book, Kansas City Southern in the Deramus Era, by Louis A Marre and Gregory J Sommers, states that number 71 was built October 20, 1949 ( c/n 7875 ) as KCS 71A, renumbered to KCS 71, renumbered to KCS 4057 at Shreveport on April 31, 1978, out-of-service February 11, 1982, retired September 13, 1985, sold to Mountain Diesel April 15, 1988
CNW F7 411 spent the winter inside the shop at Illinois Railway Museum. The Cummins HEP plant decided to leak, A LOT, everywhere. She received a lot of TLC over the winter, with a little more to go. The twinkle of the shop lights on the logo made me think she’s itching to get back outside again. She’s not use to being a shop queen.
