Three passenger trains lurk in the shadows under an awning at dearborn Station in downtown chicago.

From left to right the locomotiveas are:
- Norfolk & Western #2482, an EMD GP9
- Monon Railroad #801, an Alco C420
- Chicago & Eastern Illinois #1100, an EMD E7

all are painted dark blue to some degree. 

Built in 1885, Dearborn Station served various railroads, then amtrak until 1976, when it closed. A neighborhood now sits where the tracks into the station were, and the old Station Building has been repurposed  as an office/retail space.

In a photo taken circa 1981, Southern Pacific (SP) 2598 is in Santa Clara, CA.
SP 2598 is an EMD SW1500, SP Class ES415-4. Reportedly: it was built in 1971, serial number 4608-8. These locomotives were called "cruds" mainly because they were so prolific. SP likely bought so many of them because they were such fine locomotives. Four plus decades later, many of these are still working for a living.
