Remarks & Notes

In the early 1990’s, Southern Pacific finally made it to Chicago by acquiring the bankrupt Chicago, Missouri and Western’s St. Louis to Chicago line and through trackage rights via BN. To celebrate SP’s entrance to railroading’s Midwestern mecca, the railroad set up a publicity shot at Amtrak’s 18th Street Yard in downtown on July 17, 1992. Here, brand new EMD GP60 No. 9757 sits beneath the Chicago skyline as the twilight settled over the sparkling city.

A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
