I also found Russ very willing to share data. I enjoyed exchanging e-mails with him and was saddened to hear that he had died. It would be a memorial to him if his material  was available but, not having been in contact with Russ for a number of years, considered it inappropriate to contact his widow for consent. I wondered if anyone else had taken photos at the Cicero plant.

Russ Strodtz was a Q fan and a BN/BNSF employee until a major stroke sidelined him.  He last worked as a dispatcher in Fort Worth; maybe Steve Holding has contact information.  It took Russ several years to almost fully recover from the effects of the stroke.  He was most particularly interested in diesel locomotives and kept a huge database.  He was always willing to share both his knowledge and his photos, and I used a number of them in BN Annuals.  Unfortunately, his widow make take a different stance when it comes to sharing.

I have copies of both photos from the Shortlines website but I am unable to obtain permission to reproduce them as Russ Shrodtz, who used to be a member of this list, died last year.

Both the Plymouth and Whitcomb are shown on the National Malleable page of Shortlines of Chicago website.

I lived for 22 years across the street from the main gate of the Grant Works and never took a photo of the buildings or equipment during that period. Guess it was just too familiar. Sad, now it’s all gone.
