Held for Ransom

A glimpse of aged familiarity, a sight once routine now reserved for all but the most infrequent of passages, a cigar-banded bluebonnet of the special duty variety guides two contemporaries (in livery only) and 62 cars of miscellaneous freight from Chicagoland towards classification at BNSF's terminal at Galesburg via local L CHI1051 09A, conjuring memories lost 27 years prior of when the great Santa Fe ruled the Transcon and the prairie towns like Ransom which dot its bucolic Illinois landscape.
