On Saturday, May 28, 1955, Galena Division engineer Henry P. Fane brought Train No. 112, The City of Denver, into the Chicago Passenger Terminal winding up 45 years of service with the Chicago & North Western Ry.  On hand to greet him were some 30 or more friends and neighbors who’d made the trip in from West Chicago to surprise him upon his arrival at 8:30 am.  In the cab and partially out of the picture is Henry’s fireman, Ed Van Teese.   The man in the sport shirt standing on the steps of the engine appears to be the organizer of this event; perhaps it’s Henry’s son.  This fine picture was contributed by Dusty Burman of Phoenix, AZ.
