Exactly - when I was with C&NW, we took delivery of new D&RGW units for them @ 
Proviso (i.e their Loco brass came to Proviso for the 'break-in' and then they 
went toward Colorado on C&NW frts.

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.
