Description:  Missouri Pacific 2326 is out for a ride down the old C&EI near Momence, Illinois in the summer of 1981 (date approx.). I sure wish I had shot that nice bay window caboose with the "buzz saw" emblem...

MPPD Blue
Title:  MPPD Blue
Description:  MP 3103, 3141, and one other unit move through the (non-interlocked) junction at 80th Street, Chicago early in 1985. Just as these engines approached, a (very kind) MoPac policeman was telling me that the area around this spot was "no place for a man with a gun, let alone a girl without one!" but instead of running me off, he waited with me until I made the picture. Then I high-tailed it right on outta there! Ahh, the stupidity of youth. (date approx)
