    Local #152 with engine 1337 waits in the siding for Train 441 at Paris, IL. The Southern District is all steam except for thru passenger service.

    Thanks for posting that photo. Would love to hear those old single note honkers on the E7 warning the crossings. (of course the multi chime steam whistles would be awesome to hear again too.)

    I like seeing how the stripe matches on the trailing unit.

    Deja vu. I was just looking at a photo I took in Little Falls, NY about 1955. Terrible photography, but it is a New York Central E unit. I like Larry's better, and thanks for posting it Roger.

    The Southwestern Limited is just west of Midland [Paris, IL] in 1951, and up to track-speed. Next stop Mattoon, IL.
