AC&Y and N&W cabooses (and a few NW engines) at the ex-AC&Y shops in Akron,Ohio - Dec 1978.
In the 50's and 60's while this was still owned by the Akron Canton & Youngstown RR - the engines would have been virtually all Fairbanks-Morse .
Today - the Wheeling and Lake Erie operates this line.

(1) N&W commuter train at Chicago -- September 1977
Inbound to Union Station crossing the 21st street bridge.
A year or less before, this train still operated out of Dearborn Station (at least next to it).
This was a Wabash train before the 1964 merger.

(2) N&W commuter train at Chicago -- September 1977
The consist is pulled out to the yards to wait for the evening run.
I don't believe Amtrak acquired very many (if any) N&W coaches - probably because they were Pullman-Standard - so the N&W had plenty to use on the commuter run.
An Amtrak French Turbo is headed to Union Station.
