Working rail roads and their tracks.

I've used one of those to move cars at the Illinois Railway Museum.

I have an old I.C.R.R. lantern in the garage. Wonder what it's worth?

Whatever someone will pay for it.

We see railroad lanterns in antique stores fairly often. Prices fluctuate wildly. Look up that lantern on-line to get some ideas.

It sounded like the driver of the vehicle was gunning the engine to attempt to get off. Do we know the driver ever got out before impact??

That train was moving pretty slow. Good thing that everyone survived. Having humped cars and worked on derailment wrecks, getting in front of a train sure makes me nerves.

I was surprised how fast the train stopped.

Hoar frost is the photographic order of the day and made for a nice background as U717 climbed away from the Artichoke River at Culver a few minutes ago with heavily steaming fresh baked pellets from United Taconite. Iron Range of MN.
