Buzz - Thank you for mentioning my photographic contribution to IRM's
restoration of CB&Q SW-7 No. 9255. My late father M.L. Zadnichek who
was Chicago Division Superintendent at Cicero in the early 1960s
would've been delighted with your efforts. The switcher looks
gorgeous with its new paint job and lettering. Congratulations. Now,
if your steam shop gang could only do something about bringing Class
K-2 No. 637 back to life, that would be perfection. If I ever get
back to Chicago Land and visit IRM, I'll be sure to contact you for
that cook's tour! Best Regards - Louis
Louis Zadnichek II
