Preserved Chicago Gravel Company 0-6-0 steam locomotive # 18 at sunset. Bensenville Illinois USA. July 2008.

Chicago Gravel Company # 18 at sunset. Bensenville Illinois. July 2008.

I photographed this image around twilight time, in July of 2008.
Seen here along the north side of Main Street just east of the intersection of Church Road in northwest suburban Bensenville Illinois, is preserved 0-6-0 steam switching type locomotive # 18 from the Chicago Gravel Company. On display here in Veteran's Park since 1961, the setting sun adds to the locomotives timeless looks and superstructural lines. This locomotive was built by ALCO in 1922.
