ICG GP10 8326, Argo., IL rs

The South Joliet local is about to knock down the classic CPL northward home signal at Argo tower, which I have graciously pulled out for him back in June of 1983. Argo is named for that giant plant to the left of the train, Argo Corn Starch, the province of IHB switch crews, who probably wished they were issued gas masks. I remember on certain days when the breeze blew in the wrong direction, I wish I had one, too. You can see that the ICG's ex-GM&O MOW guys have been busy, dropping ballast on both mains.
