Rock Island E8 - arriving Chicago
Author: gcm

Dec 76
From Joliet will arrive shortly at LaSalle St Station.
I liked the still marked Erie freight building.
Off to the right was one of the Rock Island RS3 units that had been repowered by EMD.

Nice! I like the way the red/yellow color on the E unit puts a feeling of warmth into an iceberg of a shot! :^)

Super scene - You may have frozen then, but think of the warmth of good memories this brings.

Yup, that lead unit color really pops against the bluish background.

I remember going thru those old coachs in Pratt.  They were I imagine on their way to scrappers.
