View from the Cab
In this shot, a northbound train is approaching the lead unit of a southbound—where the photographer is situated. This is happening in Bloomington, Indiana, on the so-called Hi-Dry, Illinois Central’s line to Indianapolis.
One image by Richard Koenig; taken mid- to late-1970s.
Amtrak Floridian
A southbound Amtrak Floridian makes its station stop in Bloomington, Indiana. The photographer is looking eastward along Third Street; the power for the day is an EMD E9 originally built for the B&O in 1955.
I posted this shot due to the
curiosity of being able to see through the two side doors of the unit. One image by Richard Koenig; taken May 30th 1977.
Marley Road
This is a westbound Rock Island Rocket (which one, I know not) at Marley Road just east of New Lenox, Illinois. One image by Richard Koenig; from a medium format negative, taken in 1976 or so.
Haley Tower
Here we see a westbound on the Big Four at Haley Tower in Terre Haute, Indiana. The line was New York Central, then Penn Central, Conrail, and eventually CSX. It crossed the Milwuakee Road and C&EI at this point. The Pennsylvania Railroad also ran through this town on the Wabash River.
One image by Richard Koenig; taken 1975 or so.
Covered Wagons
A northbound Soo Line train, enjoying trackage rights on the Milwaukee Road, ducks under the CNW north of Milwaukee at Havenwoods State Forest (near Mill Road and N. 60th Street). The train will go through Granville and on up to Rugby Junction where it will regain the Soo main.
One image by Richard Koenig; taken mid- to late-1970s.
