Idling In The Night
Title:  Idling In The Night
Description:  EJE 703 takes a quick break with the GTW 4930 in the CN Grand Avenue Yard (former Illinois Central Yard) in Decatur, Illinois after shuffling cars around. This was a quick set up and grab shot before the night crew went back to work, must have been their union break. Either way it worked out well in my favor for a few quick shots.
