Frisco # 1630 departing the engine service area. The Illinois Railway Museum.  Union IL  May  1985.

I took this photo during the May 1985 Memorial Day weekend at The Illinois Railway Museum, located in the town of Union Ilinois.

The operating session is about to begin for the day, as Frisco Railroad, Baldwin 1917 2-10-0 steam locomotive # 1630 departs the steam locomotive servicing area with a full load of coal, water, and a full head of steam. It is viewed heading to the East Union depot where it will couple up to it's passenger train.
