The Galesburg Grade Crossings On The Santa Fe

Here is another shot taken in Galesburg, Illinois – This time about eight years earlier and seven blocks away over on the Santa Fe where an eastbound TOFC train with an A-B-B-A set of warbonnet GP60Ms is working their way through town as viewed from N. Prairie Street.

At the time there was a bunch of grade crossings grouped very close together in this area (many have since been eliminated) and I remember ATSF trains just sounding short taps on the horn while passing through instead of the standard, long grade crossing horn sequence for each. - August 23rd, 1991 ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
