H.O Scale Santa Fe freight train crossing the Missisippi River lift bridge., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.

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

I enjoy modeling the freight trains and railroads I grew up seeing in Chicago from the 1960's and 70's era. The former Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe was indeed one of my local Chicago area railroads I enjoyed since I was a kid.

With an appropriate for the period cut of freight cars coupled aboard, My late 1960's / early 1970's era Santa Fe freight train, is viewed crossing the Missisippi River lift bridge model on the club layout.
