Illinois Central Electric South Chicago Line 492 3-22-77
Last year I acquired an album of B&W photos taken during the Illinois Railway Museum's 1977 "Snowflake Special" fantrip on the Illinois Central Electric lines. As a young kid our family took many rides on the IC South Chicago branch, so this was a fun find.
The photographer's name is unfortunately not listed, but the photos are excellent quality and all captioned. This shot of a pair of Highliners about to enter the tunnel under the mainline to leave the South Chicago branch. This shot was taken 3-22-77, about a month after the fantrip.
