Preserved Southern Pacific steam locomotive # 4449 on display. Franklin Park Illinois. Saturday, August 1st 2009.

I took this photo on a rainy and overcast Saturday, August 1st 2009 in near northwest suburban Franklin Park Illinois. Preserved 1941 built Southern Pacific GS-4 class Daylight 4-8-4 # 4449 and operating crew, were enjoying a short visit to the Greater Chicagoland Area. The following day, this locomotive would haul a chartered fantrip special to Milwaukee Wisconsin over the Canadian Pacific Railroad's former Milwaukee Road northline.
