Riverfront Work Horse

NS local out of Federal Yard DF25 is seen working the Ardent Mills complex in Alton Illinois with a classy looking ex Southern high hood GP38-2 doing the honors. The Mississippi River Bluffs provide the back drop, and behind me is the swollen Mississippi River.

 

This job is mostly a night time or late evening switch, making it one of the harder jobs to shoot here in the St. Louis Area. I had just lucked out that as I was heading back toward St. Louis they were working. Unfortunately I only had my phone with me, but I had never had the chance to shoot this job so I figured it was still worth it. Somehow there weren't any opposing cars or car behind me on IL 100, also known as the Great River Road, further justifying my reasoning for making a quick stop.
