The train looks like it's in a siding.

Don't know but there is a lot to look at in this photo. Wondering if those are residential buildings top right so close to those cool looking gritty industrial buildings top center. Also notice industry lead going off in bottom left corner. Kind of has the look of a Mississippi River city.

This photo resembles Albert Lea, MN, taken from the Highway 65 overpass. "New" station in background just like Albert Lea. Wilson Packing House lead on left. Train northbound on siding.

The flat plate covers an oil cooler Rock Island retrofitted to almost all F-units. See my photo here: http://www.rits.org/www/equipment/EhniSlides/RI122.jpg
