At least through the mid-1950s the VO1000s were used in Chicago area freight switching.  See attached from 1948.

Speaking of non-EMD/EMC diesels, did the Chicago-based Baldwin VO-1000’s that I see (in photos) used to haul passenger consists in and out of CUS ever stray much from that role?  I gather the VO-1000’s (whether in Chicago or elsewhere) were forced on the EMD/EMC-loving Q by wartime restrictions.

Looks like an EMD NW2, not an Alco, but a nice photo nonetheless.

It looks to me like the number is 9227 which would indeed make it an EMD NW2. Definitely not an Alco S-2.
