Wisconsin & Southern 6579 north, makes short work of making their way toward Slinger and home rails as they charge by Spur 105 in a cloud of dust.

After running loaded aggregate cars to Grayslake Sand and Gravel, we are almost back to the beginning point of the day, at Spur 105 at Sussex. Here we are holding behind another northbound at Vernon, waiting for a southbound meet. So, the opportunity seemed right for me to hop off and get a shot of the aggregate train just short of the bridge. The perks were pretty good at times.

The late Bob Chupka, muscles his southbound into Lake Villa Illinois with a rather different pair of horses leading on this fine summer morning. I did give Bob a 8X10 print for his collection a week or so after.

What a fine early spring afternoon at the bottom of Lomira hill, as this southbound sprints towards Chicago in the golden light.
