NKP NW2 16
Title:  NKP NW2 16
Description:  Nickel Plate Road NW2 16 at Calumet City, Illinois on June 13, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Classed as ES-10c by the NKP, it was built in October 1947 (c/n 4990) on EMD Order E854, it became NW 2016 in August 1967, and was retired April 17, 1982 and sold for scrap to Chrome Crankshaft. It appears to be set up for road service, with class lights and some device on the front truck for activating either signals or emergency brakes, I'm not sure which.

NKP NW2 17
Title:  NKP NW2 17
Description:  Nickel Plate Road NW2 17 at Pullman Junction on the south side of Chicago, Illinois on April 20, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in February 1948 (c/n 6088) on EMD Order E854, classed as ES-10c, it became N&W 2017 in July 1967, was retired July 10, 1974, sold to Martiki Coal Company (Lovely, Kentucky) becoming 17 again. Also of interest is the trailing caboose, N&W 559023. One can only speculate about a relatively recently overhauled wood caboose, with cupola markers no less. My best guess is that it was part of a restoration project that got cancelled when the merger came about, but I have no facts to back that claim up.

N&W 559023
Title:  N&W 559023
Description:  N&W 559023 at Pullman Junction on the south side of Chicago, Illinois on March 20, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. As best I can tell, this was a NKP caboose. The markers are not displayed because the caboose is actually leading this train.
