For the 2nd shot, I am saying OOOPPS!!

In LaGrange, KY there is insufficient room to avoid the train when cars are parked on the curb (most of the time).  Motorists not acquainted come to a screeching halt and back up quickly.......

Headlight off ... I'd say he was following the train for that photo. If it was an opposing shot the word would be stronger than oops!

There is a line painted on both sides of the track for most of the street running segment to let people know that they are within striking distance of the train.

Defiinitely following the power as there is no engineer sitting on the left side. That would be the brakeman riding on the rear unit.

The truth! Love that South Shore orange; reminds me of childhood trips in summertime 1960s
on the old style Cars, rumbling between CHI and South Bend. I remember standing up by
the front window, watching the street running, the fast running and interesting neighborhoods roll by.
