I like seeing steam and diesel in the same picture during the transition period.

By 54 they sure weren’t keeping those Hudson’s clean Late 1954 the last Hudson was pulled from the Roundhouse in Kankakee, and the last steam engine stored in Kankakee, left in 1956 for scrap yard to be cut up. Here's their pictures. First one is when the Roundhouse was a bustling place. The last steam NYC engine to run in Kankakee was 1956. They weren't given much in way of washing, rather just kept em running toward the end.

Great pictures Josef! My in-laws are from Kankakee, so I’ve been at the station in the last picture to video and photograph the “City of New Orleans” a few times.

Great pictures Josef! My in-laws are from Kankakee, so I’ve been at the station in the last picture to video and photograph the “City of New Orleans” a few times. Then you know the other station down Hobbie Ave were the Roundhouse and facilities were located. This was actually the NYC station were the one off Court street was the IC station. Looking up railroad History of the area, Kankakee and Momence are truly enjoyable and finding new is always exciting and brings back those great train days. The Roundhouse was located right across from the station.

Here is a builder’s plate from a NYC Alco FA-1. It is in my railroad “stuff” collection... Tom   |
