Joe,

I find that car on the right more interesting than the #18.  It looks like a refer with a MOW number on it ?  I am I correct ?  It looks like
Pacific fruit Express or something has been painted over.

That is one way to get an insulated car for a winter work train.

The photo had to have been taken between 1961 when the locomotive was repowered and 1963 when it was sold.

Yes, It has four exhaust stacks in a row above the engine compartment. If it were FM powered, it would have two crosswise exhaust stacks mounted  directely behind the  roof mounted radiator grill at the  front edge of the engine compartment.

Good observation !   Always nice to get an approximate date to go with a photo.

Joe:  you have a MofW roster?  Could you scan it and share it with us?

Here's another photo of #18 probably taken on the same day at Lafayette Yards.  This photo has a caption of Paul McGrane collection.

What is the building in the photo?

18 is pulling the same Southern hopper car in both photos.

Based on the fact that it's the same hopper, it could be that these photos were taken sequentially a few moments apart.  The train is obviously moving from right to left and the photographer seems to be in the same position for both shots.

Monon H-10-44 #18 was sold to the W. R. Grace Company in 1963.  In the 30+ years of collecting former-Monon locomotive photos, I have only found two of #18 in W. R. Grace colors.  The locomotive was repainted and renumbered 102 by W. R. Grace and operated primarily in FL.  It was scrapped in 1968.

The caption for the first photo is "Mulberry, FL; 3/06/66".

I will send the second photo in the next post.
