Railroad Photos by Mike Yuhas: Flag, Illinois, 8/12/2000

Rochelle, Illinois has long attracted railroad photographers. The town certainly attracted me as this 86-car westbound UP train lumbered along the former Chicago & North Western main line. We're actually a couple miles west of town; the black water tower in the distance is a spotting feature. C&NW SD40-2 6880 has the honors.
