Train time at 6th and Clybourn


On a summer afternoon in the late 1950's, CNS&M car 749 leads a Chicago Limited out of the railroad's Milwaukee Terminal. Car 749 is of course preserved at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, IL.

Go By Road They Say...





It's safer that way!




















A little homage to the Film "Titfield Thunderbolt", a 1953 Ealing Studios comedy which features this Great Western 14xx, number 1401. The GWR 14xx's have to be up there as one of my favorite engines.

In other news, I've broken this art block! Expect regular (if it can be considered regular) programming soon.

Until next time,
Zach
