CNW SD40-2 6897, Chgo-Western rescan
Another bird flies the coop. The famous Northwestern pig train, the Falcon, pulls out of Wood Street yard in late July, 1982 and rolls across the old B&O diamonds that once hosted the Capitol Limited and other hot varnish. We're at the B&OCT's Western Ave tower and yes, we're hard at work again. We had just lined up the Bird and taken our position to inspect the train as it passes. So happens that we had our camera with us. Nice how some things work out. Of course, everything is either gone or vastly changed since 1982. Heck, even that shining skyscraper in the background has had the misfortune of being renamed. Ain't nothing sacred?
