When They Were New
Here we see a southbound Amtrak Illini, number 381, rolling by Champaign Tower, on the Illinois Central. I recall that this EMD F40PH was brand new at the time. We came back later, once it was turned around for the morning run north, and did some night shots, even climbing inside the engine compartment.
