Westbound pigs |
| Description: |
A westbound trailer train heads for Sand Patch with trailers for Chicago behind a set of Chessie power. The building whose corner is visible at the right of the photo, partly hidden behind the tree, is the Holiday Inn, which on floors higher than the 4th, offers a great view of the action-or at least it did in 1984. Don't know how tall those trees are now, 30 years later. |
