Enter The Sandmen
After photographing fireworks along the Illinois River at Ottawa, what do a couple of railfans do with the rest of their night? Go seek out the Illinois Railway of course! The Illinois Railway is a primary sand-hauling shortline that never sleeps. In the Ottawa area, it runs almost every day, around the clock.
Without reconfiguring the flashes, this car with it's unique graffiti was second out on this new set of cars. Later on, while editing photos, I realized I had shot this car before, not 2 weeks prior!
