Gerald,

Illinois tax law changed when the new state constitution became  
effective in 1970. After that, every RR in the west, took delivery in  
Chicago both from EMD and GE. While I was assigned by EMD to Clyde  
during the 1970 - 1972 time period, I placed units in service for  
most of the western RRs, including BN, UP and  D&RGW. SP units were  
placed in service on the south side of town.
