Illinois at the museum where this neat engine hangs out.
Did you get rid of the guy wire to the telephone pole?
Looks like the yellow part of it is all that is there, where it connects to the ground.
Great picture.

Two things wrong:

1. What's a "Railroad Crosling"?
2. As already noted, the phone pole was PhotoShopped out of existence.

My favorite train, but I don't know the town or street. Obviously back in the Humidity Belt.

It's a the offspring of adult "Railroad Crosls".

I'll guess Wood Street, West Chicago, IL, on the original CB&Q trackage. Gerry

Looks like there might be a engine on the other end pulling the trainset.

I don't know where it is, and its a nice shot, but the "guy line" for the pole is still visible. Look real close as it comes up out of the yellow sleeve and ya can see it against the car/rear of the E unit and even going up with the tree background. B.

Well ya got the mistake in the pic...I had a little fun with the photoshop program...
As for the location, here it is. Its being dragged backwords to Eola Yard with the BN 1395, he is in Aurora, IL at Pierce St. The train was going to Galesburg Railroad days, but on its way, it went to West Burlington Shops for some wheel turning and some restoration work on her pilot. After that, they took her to Galesburg in June of 1994.
