Gulf Mobile & Ohio railroad F3A in Chicago, 1972

This engine with road number 883A was built in June 1947 by General Motors Electro-Motive Division (EMD) as a 1,500-horsepower cab unit -- the classic "chicken wire" mesh screens covering the upper side radiators was a signature styling element of early-production F3 units. The pic was taken from the Roosevelt Street bridge of The Plug commuter service between Chicago Union Station and Joliet Union Station, Illinois.

The loco was retained by the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio (and later the Illinois Central Gulf) alongside its stablemate 880B because it was equipped with an internal steam generator, which was required to provide heat to the vintage passenger cars seen behind it.

The Gulf, Mobile and Ohio was officially taken over on 10 August 1972.when it merged with its long-time parallel competitor, the Illinois Central, to form a new 9,600-mile system known as the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad (ICG).

once upon a time on French narrow gauge railways in sugar beet territory

The yellow triangular road warning sign saying BETTERAVES (French for sugar beets) warns drivers of slippery road conditions from fallen beets during the harvest season. This network originally served local sugar refineries to haul crops from the fields.

The railway line is narrow-gauge 600mm (a bit under 2 ft) track. It was the last operating survivor of the massive military trench railways built to supply the battlefields of World War I.

The locomotive is Franco-Belge N°2836 (CFCD N°10), an 0-8-0T built originally in 1945 for industrial and sugar-beet transport, and it is now classified as a French Monument Historique (National Heritage Site).
