Still in the Rainbow Era at Joliet

Gulf, Mobile & Ohio motive power is still in place on April 14, 1973, as the southbound Abraham Lincoln calls at Joliet, Illinois.

Pulling Amtrak Train No. 303 are GM&O E7A Nos. 101 and 103A, both of which were built by EMD in the middle 1940s.

The train originated in Milwaukee at 3:20 p.m. and is due into St. Louis Union Station at 10:35 p.m.

Note the mixture of equipment in Amtrak colors and the colors of their original owners.
