Erie Lackawanna E8 813 at 47th Street in Chicago, Illinois on October 31, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in April 1951 as DL&W E8 813 (c/n 14012) on EMD Order 2033A, it became EL 813 (EL Class PE-22) and later CR 4003. It was retired in January 1978 and scrapped by Naporano in March 1979. It is seen here passing the 47th Street station heading the daily Train No. 5, The World's Fair (also known as the Lake Cities), having departed New York City's Rockefeller Center Terminal at 6:40 PM, (motor coach and ferry to Hoboken, New Jersey), departing Hoboken at 7:30 PM, and if all goes well, it will arrive at Chicago's Dearborn Street Station at 4:05 PM, a little over 23 hours and one time zone later. The last time the EL's predecessor, the ERIE, used the station was September 29, 1935. |
