Everywhere West (Part 3) - a photo on Flickriver

            Another set of photos from the archives.  We go back to April 2010, when I stopped by Earlville, IL, to photograph to former Burlington Route (CB&Q) depot.  I had been in town to photograph the famed bluebell flowers at Maple Leaf Park.  While I was poking around the depot, the westbound California Zephyr came flying by.  At this time, the old Q-era signal bridges and searchlights still guarded the diamonds where Union Pacific's Troy Grove Sub crossed the BNSF Mendota Sub, just behind the grain elevators in the distance.  The signal bridge would last just two years longer.  Everything else in this scene looks pretty much the same 13 years later.
