Mendota, IL, 1971

From the Time Machine, Part 11.

 

Mendota, IL, summer or fall of 1971. A westbound BN freight with a CB&Q Chinese Red GP30 on the front crosses the Illinois Central with the tower operator keeping a keen eye on the passing train. I can find no notes for the exact date or diagram of flash unit placement, but I probably had all 10 remote boxes at work with at least 16 flash bulbs

 

I remember Mike Schafer was with me for this one and I think there were others, but my memory has lost the names. Those were good days.
