When I grow up I want a house with bookshelves in every room. And I want to work part-time in a second-hand bookshop.
One day I am going to have to stop saying 'when I grow up' and finally admit that I am an adult. But I do not think I will do that today.
The Imitation Of Christ by Thomas A Kempis

The classic laker Philip R. Clarke makes for a nice backdrop for a pair of classic Soo GP38-2s (did I just call a GP38-2 classic - I must be getting old).
Santa Fe train 165 approaches Division Street in Lockport, Illinois, February 27, 1990, behind freshly repainted FP45's 105, 104, 102, and 101. Seven business cars are tacked onto the rear of the train.

Arriving just after the last eastbound GO train, CN 542 pulls up the switchback in Guelph with cars from Hunts Haulage and FloChem. These would be dropped in XW22 before lifting cars from XW12 and proceeding up the Guelph North Spur.
And old EMD and an old UH-1 "Huey"; two classics of a bygone era. Blue Ridge Southern's T59 works Giles Chemical in Waynesville, NC before heading over the mountain to Addie
It's still crossroads (see previous BW shot) but of a different kind...

Worthington, MN; likely closed now. When I shot this place in June, the owner was about to shut down the museum and sell off the majority of these signs.
It's a murky muggy August day in 1978. John Eagan and I are on a swing of visiting the northeastern part of the country, in search of treasures that we're not going to find in our home state of Illinois. Treasures like the beast on the right, GG-1 4857, joined by another future classic, SD40-2 6440. Both of these Conrail classics are getting ready to roll out of Harrisburg, PA. The 6440 is tied onto an old untouched ex PC SD45, while the 4857 is part of a trio of GG-1's. Maybe, someone can tell me why the 4857 has those air screens or radiators or whatever they are up on the nose instead of the carbody like other GG-1s do.

A manned tower and a...uh, shoving platform, was my focus on a chilly day at Tower B17 in Bensenville. The old crusty Soo Line caboose number 98 was looking a bit "urban" thanks to those with no regard for private property.
Compare this with a similar scene from 2001. Times have changed.
