Amtrak E9 414
Title:  Amtrak E9 414
Description:  Amtrak E9 414 trailing (a P30CH is leading) at Roosevelt Road in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in Larch 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 414 was built in August 1961 as UP E9 909 (c/n 26673) on EMD Order 7604, was leased to Amtrak in May 1972 as AMTK 1414, sold to Amtrak in December 1973 becoming AMTK 414. It is seen as the trailing unit on The Valpo, renamed The Calumet by Amtrak.

The Valpo began in 1869 as the PRR Chicago–Valparaiso Accommodation, also known as the Valpo Local or The Dummy. It continued under PC then Conrail until 1979, when Amtrak took over. Amtrak added an addition train between Valparaiso and Chicago, named The Indiana Connection, but by 1990 Conrail decided to abandon its route through Valparaiso, forcing the discontinuance of Amtrak's Valpo trains. The last run of The Valpo was May 3, 1991. The bridge in the background is the ICG's Saint Charles Air Line.
