CWP&S SW1 39 Chicago, IL

It's the middle of February, 1979, one of the worst winters Chicago had ever experienced. I'm in the gritty East Side of Chicago, the skies are a dull gray, it's cold, and my camera is loaded with that rotten Ektachrome 400. But nothing is going to stop me from shooting a copy of my favorite EMD switcher, the SW1. At least, the engineer is giving me a nice wave as the Chicago, West Pullman, & Southern 39 crosses the street near the engine terminal.
