1912 Louisville & Nashville Derailment
Title:  1912 Louisville & Nashville Derailment
Description:  This photo of a L & N derailment was given to me from a friend who wanted me to share it with other railfans. This derailment took place in Nashville, IL way back in August of 1912 located on the North side of the tracks near the FS elevator which still stands today. The men on top looks to be standing on the bottom of the locomotive, but in fact that is where the track is located. If you are familiar with Nashville today, there is no hill(dropoff) there anymore. It is all filled in and a mining company building is there which is about 1/4 mile East of Highway 127. As you can see, the railroads back then had no concerns with safety and trespassing. I hope you enjoy this photo, I sure did.

CB&Q U25B 103
Title:  CB&Q U25B 103
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad U25B 103 westbound at @aperville, Illinois on March 21, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in September 1964 (c/n 35197), it became BN 5427 and was retired in July 1981. It is seen here heading a westbound freight, trailing is a GP30, GP35, and two D&RGW GP30's. At the time of the photo, the CB&Q had run-through arrangements with a few railroads, the Rio Grande being one. The Burlington also had run-through arrangements with the UP and the NYC, and later, the PC. However, when the Q found one of its shiny new GE locomotives in MOW service on the PC, that arrangement was quickly terminated.
