Persistence Pays Off
NS 1635, a high hood SD40-2, works the riverfront in Alton, IL, and a pleasant March afternoon.
I initially saw this train heading north thru Wood River earlier in the day, and kept with it as much as I could until this shot was taken in the evening. He took quite a while working in the yard in Alton, and ended up getting a new crew late in the afternoon to continue work. This is the first time I've been able to snag a train in this area. I almost went home, too, before this guy came to the riverfront.
