G889: East Dubuque
In my final rail photo taken as a resident of the state of Illinois, IC 1021 lights up the east portal of the East Dubuque tunnel. Constructed in 1867, the tunnel carries CN trains on and off of the BNSF and towards the swing bridge across the Mississippi River into Dubuque, Iowa. The ambient glow from a nearby streetlight provided much-needed light here. Any shot of an IC at the East Dubuque tunnel had been a bucket list item for me, and having to make do with ambient light was just fine with me.
