Nice photo ! 

Based on my experience and research this looks like the East End Wayfreight. The two open hoppers are most likely empties from the Redi-mix plant at Clarendon Hills. They moved between the Sheridan,IL gravel pits to numerous redi- mix plants around Northern Illinois. Then back into coal service in the cold months. Sure looks like a cement Service covered hopper from the La Salle area that may have come out of that same redi-mix plant or the one at Naperville.

Once the job finishes at Stone Ave, next stop Is Congress Park Yard where they would run around the train. Then proceed westward working their way back to Eola, their origin point.

Think this Alco is switching out the REA at Stone Ave.

I don't remember the date of the Fantrip. I don't think I ever did one with a Gondola think it's a late one.

Illini sponsors trips also did some on the NKP.  Somebody named Sebolt?

I had Walmart copy my Color Slides to a CD disk many years ago.  If I went through the Slides I mite find the date.

Walmart in Berryville, Ark.  Didn't know front from back or upside down.  I had to manually adjust most of them.  Tom
