Great catch Buzz. Used to watch these monsters all the time in the Park Forest-Chicago Heights area as a wee rail fan. One time an engineer waved me to throw a switch for him.
Different times in those days.
This isn't one of my shots, but I'd thought I'd add it as a common subject.

These aren't fantastic, but thought I'd post them anyway. I took them a few years ago when I took my grandson to see the trains at the Palestine, IL train yard.

This has quickly became my favourite photo I've taken. Ontario Southland Railway pulls out of the south industrial spur in Guelph While the Goderich and Exeter waits for them to clear so they can have there turn down the spur.

I wish I had my good camera instead of my cell phone but 41MP cell phone camera will do *!lol!*

It's been too long since anyone posted here. NS8859 in Burlington IL yesterday on the CN just sitting in the hole waiting for the Eastbound to pass.

Here's an Indiana Railroad "road slug". I only heard that term for the first time in my life the day I took this photo. Photo taken in the Palestine, IL rail yard.
