Embee 2110's photostream  

Still life in the form of 2 "vanilla" SOO GP38-2's from G28 in Galewood help me start to understand this whole new world of night flash photography. A little more practice, and I should be ready to take on those moving trains in no time!

M336 has IC power fore and aft in the form of a SD70 and one of those modified SW14's with the bump in the carbody. Secret Location, IL.

S_O: I have mismatched numberboards.
S_O: I have a mostly missing "O" in the middle (Thus S_O)
S_O: My engineer has decided to dim my headlight and extinguish my ditchlights, even though I am within 6 car lengths of a grade crossing.

SO, while this 636 is a little lacking in some respects, I guess I should just be glad to get it. Howard St., Des Plaines, IL.

It was time to expand the photographic arsenal and this time we're going nocturnal. I say "we", since it will my accomplished with the assistance of my good friend, Paul C. Buff. Keep watching in the next few days for some progress into these uncharted waters. Wish me luck!

Running only an hour late and using a nice pinch-hitter up front, Amtrak #8 bounces thru suburban Morton Grove, IL on the C&M. The approach signal on #1 main was following the passage of Amtrak #7, running an hour late westbound. Thanks to the usual gang for the headsup(s)!
