Description:
ICE 4208, "City of Janesville", leads a train near Government Bridge in Davenport, IA. The train has just crossed over Third Street on the eastbound journey. The photo was taken looking west, and the back-light effects made it difficult to work the color, tone, etc. adequately. Take a look, if you can, of the rear light housing assembly.
