Metra's last three EMD E 8's on the Farewell To The E Units Fantrip. Ridgefield Illinois USA. Saturday, October 28th 1989.
I took this photo during the Saturday, October 28th 1989 Chicago & NorthWestern / Metra "Farewell To The EMD E 8's Last Run Fantrip" wich operated between Chicago and Harvard Illinois. Here We are on location at the second photo runby location in Ridgefield Illinois. Those three early 1950's era EMD model E 8 streamliner passenger service locomotives made for some very unique and hard working sound effects pullling those Metra commuter coaches under load conditions. Lots of loud rumbling.
