CEI 0-6-0 #3643 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Title:  CEI 0-6-0 #3643 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Description:  Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in July of 1910 for the Chicago & Eastern Illinois as their number 21, it was renumbered to CEI #3643 in 1911. In June of 1939, the switcher was assigned duies at the Evansville, IN yard. The scrapper's torch caught up with the loco in October of 1948. This sturdy little switcher was caught by Sid Davies working the yard in Chicago Heights, IL.

CEI 4-6-2 #1016 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Title:  CEI 4-6-2 #1016 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Description:  One of only two Alco-Schenectady 4-6-2 Pacifics built for the Chicago & Eastern Illinois RR. No date, location or photographer was listed for the photo but since the tender has the loco number, it must have been taken after the 1941 tender repainting. The loco lasted until being sold for scrap to M.S. Kaplan Company in August of 1949.

CEI 4-6-2 #1017 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Title:  CEI 4-6-2 #1017 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Description:  One of only two Alco-Schenectady 4-6-2 Pacifics built for the Chicago & Eastern Illinois. The loco served for nearly 36 years before being sold for scrap to Erman-Howell in August of 1949. No date, location or photographer was listed for the photo but since the tender has the loco number instead of the large "C&EI" lettering, it must be after 1941 when they repainted the tenders.

Title:  CEI 4-6-2 #1018 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Description:  Here is another view of the Lima K-3 4-6-2 Pacific built in January of 1923 for the Chicago & Eastern Illinois. Note the tender now wears the loco number instead of the large "C&EI" lettering that was used prior to 1941. No date, location or photographer listed.

CEI 4-6-2 #1020 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Title:  CEI 4-6-2 #1020 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Description:  Here is an action shot of the Lima K-3 class 4-6-2 Pacific built in 1923 heading up a passenger train in Chicago, IL. Note the engineer's watchful eye on the track ahead. No date was given but since the tender has the loco number on its side, it has to be after 1941 when the rr dropped the "C&EI" lettering in favor of loco numbers. No photographer was listed either.

CEI 4-6-2 #1003 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Title:  CEI 4-6-2 #1003 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Description:  Nice example of a 1910 Baldwin built K-1 class 4-6-2 Pacific for the Chicago & Eastern Illinois RR. Originally it was built at #334 but modified in 1930. No location, date or photographer was listed for the photo. Since the tender carries the loco number, the photo must have been taken after 1941 when the C&EI switched tender markings to numbers rather the the former "C&EI" labels.

CEI 4-6-2 #1019 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Title:  CEI 4-6-2 #1019 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Description:  Nice example of the Lima K-3 4-6-2 Pacific built in January of 1923 for the Chicago & Eastern Illinois. Definitely has a different look than the K-1 & K-2 built by Baldwin and the K-2as built by Alco-Schenectady. No date, location or photographer was listed for the photo. Since the tender wears the loco number, it must have been taken after 1941 when the "C&EI" was replaced with numbers.

Description:  This was the last 4-6-2 Pacific built for the Chicago & Eastern Illinois RR. It was delivered in January of 1923 by the Lima Locomotive Works as a K-3 class member.
