Timeless in Manteno
This scene is about a year old, but it could have been the scene twenty years earlier. Two black back to back Illinois Central SD70's are rolling a freight north through Manteno, IL, on the route of the Main Line of Mid-America. Sure, the CN owns everything here now, but those classic straight cab EMDs are pretty much untouched. The leader was delivered in 1995, twenty five years ago. Some of its litter mates have been painted in the red nose Borg scheme, but quite a few have managed to escape total assimilation. Long may they run!
