A wet winters day on the CNO&TP

[E.M. Bell]

Last week while I was out shooting the Illinois Terminal heritage unit, I lucked into a few other trains.  The weather was wet, foggy, and cold...just the way I like it. The railroad runs day and night and in all kinds of weather, and I would just about as soon shoot in this slop as I would on a sunny day!
