And weeds on the platform edges, both sides of the train! If a football special, could this be during the game taken by a railfan not a football fan? Madison?

Eng 1620 delivered from Schenectady, September 19,1914. Builder number 57321. Stoker applied 2-40. Streamlined 12-41 for the little 400 west from Wyeville, Wis. Renumbered 602 4-26-52. 1602 scrapped 3-1956. The Picture that you have shows a race train with first class, air conditioned cars to the rear of train.

this is Arlington Park IL. Five tracks, the tree rows, and those signal bridges all fit in. I believe the cameraman was facing Chicago, making this an outbound that has not been turned. |
