Signals at Somonauk
Back before the COVID-19 stay-at-home quarantine began, I began organizing some of my older photos. This is one of the first photos I forgot about and edited.
One of the last train photos I took with my 2005-vintage Olympus C-60Z digital camera. It wouldn't survive much longer, forcing me to buy a second one from eBay. Fortunately, I had gotten my first DSLR (Canon Rebel XTi) not long before this, and I was still waiting on a memory card and camera bag for it before I could begin using it (back when 4GB CompactFlash cards were still really expensive).
Here we see BNSF H2 4544 going east through the CB&Q-era East Somonauk signal bridge in Somonauk, IL on the BNSF Mendota Sub. This signal bridge survived until 2011, but it's counterpart at West Somonauk was taken out in a derailment with Amtrak in 2006.
