WCCH 1802 |
| Description: |
This one is a toughy. I've read various descriptions incl. ex-SLSF SD38-2 & SD38P (& now SD20). Because of the SD45-style flared radiator grilles I tended toward the latter. Upon closer examination it appears that this is indeed a modified SD24/20. |

Approaching the diamonds at Calumet Junction. Note the condition of the CSX ex-B&O-mainline rails in the bottom center of the photo[!]. I can't believe there hasn't been a derailment here. |

WB UP Manifest |
| Description: |
Lumbering through gritty, cluttered Calumet Junction - with a twist: this is the first photo I've shot from the north side of the CSX mainline. The late-afternoon sun is so high in the sky that it illuminates the north side more than the south. |

SP Daylight #4449 Receding |
| Description: |
Crossing Chicago Avenue just south of Calumet Junction. It was about this time that Mr. Claytor began using 4449's "steamboat" chime whistle. If you've never heard one of these whistles in real life you have no idea of how they actually sound. "Enchanting" isn't quite adequate. |

SP Daylight #4449: Farewell |
| Description: |
This is actually at Gibson Junction in Hammond (just south of East Chicago) but I wanted to keep the photo set together on one page. 4449 has just arrived at IHB's Gibson Junction and has accessed the IHB mainline. She's heading west past the Gibson shops area. Farewell, Beautiful Lady; and I hope we meet again someday. |
