GM&O GP38AC 724, Argo, IL P53

It's June 5, 1982, and it looks like I got energetic while on duty at Argo tower. Instead of staying on the porch, inspecting the train and taking a darksider photo, I crossed the tracks and shot P53 from the sun side. The southbound pig train has a clear on the diamonds (thanks to me) and the GM&O GP38AC and IC friend are not wasting any time taking the light. I'm not sure if P53 was considered a "Slingshot" since it had two engines instead of the usual single one, and the train was longer than the normal short Slingshot. I was just happy to see a GM&O on home rails.
