Nice shot of the 3751 at Joliets union station! can you share some more pictures he took from that day?
Great collection of photos. Sad that so many are gone, but I am grateful we still have those that we have.

That is the only good picture of the Santa Fe engine passing Joliet's Union Station.Only a minute or two to get a photo of the Santa Fe steam engine that hasn't returned to the area in 20 years.I remember going to see it too.I always try to go to see a steam engine rolling through the area,you never know if it will happen again.
