North Shore Line snow plow 231 at North Chicago on January 27, 1963, six days after abandonment. Don’s Rail Photos: “231 was built by Cincinnati in May 1924, #2720, as a merchandise despatch car. It was rebuilt as a plow in 1949.” (Despatch was NSL’s peculiar spelling of the word dispatch.) (K. C. Henkels Photo)
