Nice Illinois Central "Heritage" power, Ike. Anyone know why CP is running an Erie Lakawana Heritage unit? I figured that would be Norfolk Southern or possibly CSX.

We call em TriClops. Not that many built they were early wide/safety cabs from the late 80βs BN had some. Up had a few. SOO line had some. I know today BNSF has some running around as well as NS.

I hear one a coming.
You know I also heard a train coming once... ... Unfortunately I was doing a 'lill "Time" at the time I remember it just like it was yesterday...
I hear the train a-comin', it's rolling 'round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone
When I was just a baby, my mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry
I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars
Well, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a-movin', and that's what tortures me
Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away

A very nice photo OC. I like the light and shade aspect of it. Not at all common in train shots.
Does anyone have photos of Rock Island and/or Illinois Central engines?
