One of the few (maybe the only) times a former LS&I Alco RSD-15 “Alligator” led a Fox River Valley train. The freight is entering Butler Yard on the C&NW on a cold February 24, 1990. Trailing the former Santa Fe/LS&I/GB&W Alco are two former BN SD24s, Nos. 2401 and 2402. I lived in Butler at the time, making getting trains like this a bit easier.
