Please send information on railroad and locomotive. I have nothing more than what is below. Recently Jerry LaBota wrote me "The engine is a Lima, either 1000 or 1200 HP." See comments below.

Bob Lalich General Marty, the IH&IR took cars loaded with slag from the EJ&E and shoved them into a rotary dumper. The slag was crushed and sold for ballast, paving, fill, etc. The location is just west of Calumet Ave on the lakefront alongside the EJ&E, B&O, NYC and PRR lines. 1/5/2008 8:09:57 AM
