Title A name given to the resource Blacksmith Elmer Loos Subject The topic of the resource Railroads; Steam locomotives; Illinois Central Railroad Company; Blacksmiths Description An account of the resource Illinois Central Railroad blacksmith Elmer Loos, Carbondale, Illinois, demonstrates how a piece of round iron is worked on the forge and on the anvil to form an eye. Gauging the temperature of the rod by eye, Loos removes it from the forced draft coal fire at the correct moment, starts a kink in it with his ballpeen hammer on the shoulder of the anvil, then quickly slides it down toward the point, working the comparatively soft metal around into the desired shape with accurate strokes of the hammer. The entire operation takes less than 30 seconds after the iron is removed from the forge. Loos has been working with the railroad for 35 years.

He captured these images depicting the final days of the Illinois Central Railroad’s operation of steam engines in Carbondale in early 1959. Gelman later used some of these photographs in a Southern Illinoisan feature article on the end of the steam engine era that appeared in the March 1, 1959 issue. By the spring of 1959 all but one shift of trains in the IC St. Louis division had been dieselized, and Gelman believed that “the last steam locomotive with any life in it will probably be gone from the area by April 1.” The IC was fully dieselized by the end of 1959.
