The Real Terminator
waiting, on a saturday afternoon
After driving 2 1/2 hours to see absolutely nothing in the quad cities, I decided to take the fun, backlit way home and chase the Iowa Interstate's CBBI thru western Illinois, in mostly unfamiliar territory. The Interstate has always been my favorite railroad, so it was nice to spend some time on the more interesting segments of the railroad, rather than just watch them leave Blue Island and see a transfer or two.
Here the railroad is, ripping up the grade into Sheffield, Il. Behind the 503 were two of the railroad's GP38-2s, which absolutely love to smoke, and needless to say, their presence definitely made this photo more fun to work with in post!
A select few of you will understand the relevance of this title. Trying to be clever, failing per the usual.
