I am very familiar with the area. My dad was a Zephyr Pit electrician from 1947 to 1977 and I went down there often.

Charlie:

 

To clarify the top and middle photos were taken with the photographer facing south, thus Canal Street is properly shown on the right or to the west.

 

The third or bottom photo is a reversed image as apparently the photographer was on top of the locomotives and turned to face north and photograph the rear of the B unit.

Therefore Canal Street should actually appear on the left side of the photo or to the west.

All-

It should be noted that the two additional shots of the E5A unit and E5B unit end are reverse images (Canal Street should be on the left when looking north towards the Post Office and Union Station).

And thanks, Brian, for alerting us to the additional items from this seller!

That same seller also had several negatives of EMD 100, Diesel Locomotive Instruction Car, a heavyweight combine.

 

 

Thanks!

The units must have been just delivered by EMD from their plant in McCook as the roofs are pristine with no diesel exhaust soot evident.

 

As Leo stated the Zephyr Pit view is most interesting. The photos were shot looking south from Roosevelt Road with Canal Street to the right or west. The train shed was maintained with the main diesel shop being constructed immediately to the north where the units are sitting. Additional maintenance  buildings and the car shops were constructed to the south. Crooks Terminal warehouse is the large building farther south.

 

The Zephyr Pit expansion took place between 1943 and 1945.

 

Dave, hopefully the guy bidding on these is successful or we could be SOL!

Charlie, 

 

There are actually three views for sale. The others show the top of the A unit and the third may be the rear end of a B unit showing the steam generator fittings. The views are attached. These are negatives for sale, so if purchased, better copies should be possible.
