Sunset on the Pere Marquette. Pere Marquette 1225 leads a 31-car, double-header eastbound through lush Michigan farmland, just moments before a late August sunset.
Working along the former N&W and toward a meet at "Kent" with the Q44, NS 745 passes through the small coal mining community of Raven, Virginia at last light.
Sunset over the signals and in more ways than one because these magnificent boards are due to be replaced over the Christmas holidays when colour light signals will take over. Progress?
