Stan Mailer,author and photographer of railroad history. This is an engine from the Elco Company, manufacturers of this line of railroad engines, known for their noisy, smoky diesel powered engines. Note the second, smaller engine. It is called a "slug" engine which acts as a power assist to the other two. It provides the immense electrical connection between the first engine and the third and fourth engines in this particular photo configuration. This Elco train was part of the Chicago Northwestern line.
