Mike,
That sure looks like it was taken in Chicago, just out side of the Union Station.
I rode many suburban trains between Berwyn and Chicago as well as the CZ, DZ, TCZ and the Empire Builder from 1950 to 1970's.
I'm sure others can confirm this as well.

Subject: [CBQ] Photo caption help request: FW&D E-5 set
Hello,
I'm trying to catalog a negative and print in my collection, but could use a little help. It was in a stack of images taken in Chicago, so I'm going to guess (someone can confirm) that this location is Chicago. The subject is the E-5 set built for the FW&D
Texas Zephyr. The photographer's notes say "The Exposition Flyer." All the images in this pile are from 1940-1941, so I'd assume this undated shot is in that range. My question: Did the 9980A/B set come all the way to Chicago, and would/could this be the Exposition
Flyer? I guess I thought those power units stayed west and were handed off sections that were powered by Q engines in/out of Chicago. I'd appreciate an education on this if anyone can offer some insight. Thanks in advance.
