BAR 84
Title:  BAR 84
Description:  I always thought this location was called Mt Waldo, but apparently this is Frankfurt (or just south) and that is Mt Waldo in the background. Took 28 years for me to figure that out.

GM&O 705
Title:  GM&O 705
Description:  Uncharacteristic for ICG, this GP38 was running long-hood first on the local through Belleville. This location may not look familiar, but this is the same spot where at least one intrepid soul got some high perspective shots of IC/CN trains in more recent years. Those were from atop a nearby hospital parking garage that had not been built yet in 1979.

Title:  GM&O 718

GWWR 2028
Title:  GWWR 2028

GWWR 2028 take 2
Title:  GWWR 2028 take 2
Description:  Thanks to Pat Scott for recognizing this location. Sometimes things look a lot less familiar a few years after taking a photo. Guess it really is a good idea to jot things down at the time.

Overpass at Farmdale
Title:  Overpass at Farmdale

Assorted locos
Title:  Assorted locos
Description:  Part of the rag-tag collection that was the CM&W locomotive roster idles outside the engine facility in Bloomington. The Chicago South Shore unit at center-left in the photo was not part of that collection though -- apparently it was just visiting that day.

CR 7830
Title:  CR 7830
Description:  This GP38 still showed its lineage in January of 81. For some reason it was later re-painted black rather than Conrail blue, but with the characteristic CONRAIL nose lettering.
