Psychedelic Sunset

The sun sets on Yard 5 at the Illinois Railway Museum on Labor Day Weekend 2020. This would be the first night of extended operations that IRM would conduct in 2020, having had to close down for half of the operating season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The shutdown forced the cancellation of all special events thru Labor Day, including their biggest and most profitable events, the two-weekend "Day Out With Thomas The Tank Engine."

 

The extra saturation in this image was brought to you by the aid of a circular polarizing filter. Seen here, Left to Right, are:

- Nekoosa Paper 14 (Alco S1, 1947)

- Union Pacific 1848 (GE B40-8, 1988; ne St. Louis Southwestern (aka Cotton Belt) 8049

- Morristown & Erie 18 (Alco C424, 1964; ne Toledo, Peoria, & Western 800).
