NS 6108 | D36 | Lotus, IL - a photo on Flickriver

            A duo of original N&W SD40-2s leading a 35-car D36 towards Decatur. You could see and hear these SD40's coming for a good mile as they towed their train South chugging up smoke as they made their approach into the small township of Lotus. After this shot, I was headed to the Drive In Movie Theater in Gibson City to see the movie "Sound of Freedom" with the wife after this shot. Love when things time out just right!
