A Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad freight train crossing the Missisippi River lift bridge.

A Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad freight train crossing the Missisippi River lift bridge., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.

I took this photograph last week, at the Oak Park Society of Model Engineers,H.O Scale Model Railroad Club.

I decided to attempt a different and more dramatic style of photography on the club layout during this particular operating session.

Looking in to the model of the Missisippi River lift bridge, we see my late 1970's era freight train from the former Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad, crossing the bridge in a view normally seen only by the railroad crews themselves.

Thanks.
