The
engineer of the Grand Trunk Western Jackson turn (from Pontiac
to Jackson and back) takes a cigarette break at Jackson Yard.
This is GTW #1950, a 1,000 hp. Alco RS-1, one of the first road
switchers introduced in the 1940's. The controls on the
RS-1 were simpler than found on $2 million locomotives in 2008.
This photo was taken in 1964..
