I.C. Weiner

A few hours after I photographed GALCNI parked outside of Earlville, IL, on the BNSF's Mendota Sub sporting two Illinois Central standard cab SD70s still in their as-delivered "Deathstar" paint (see previous image), it was moved up a few miles to the standard holding point outside of Somonauk. It was there after the train tied back down that some knuckle-dragging jackass in the middle of the night stole the horns off of BOTH locomotives! Whoever did it knew what they were doing, as it was sometime that morning that the horns of both 1010 and 1020 were discovered to be missing. Since this train could now no longer legally move, BNSF had to send out a pair of rescue units a couple of days later to drag this train into Eola.
