The Illinois Central tracks at 144th Street in Riverdale, Illinois. Seen is a Union Pacific freight waiting on the tracks. The Metra electric line also runs down these tracks. The photo was taken in April of 2017. This print was made in November, 2019 on 8” x 10” paper.
Did you see the plane in the distance? Even bigger, but smaller.
I took some railroad photos while shooting in my original hometown, as it is a big definer of the environment there. I thought some railroad buffs might also like them, though I am not one myself.
Yes, I'm a train buff. The 1st and 3rd GE engines were among my favorites with their wing fans and new cabs. The 2nd goes back quite a ways.... the 1970's I think.
