I took this photograph recently, at the Oak Park Society of Model
Engineers,H.O Scale Model Railroad Club in Oak Park Illinois.
Photographs and videos from this Chicago area model railroad club,
can also be viewed at their Facebook page OPSME.
I am a big fan of the former Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad,
and I enjoy modeling and operating their 1960's and 70's era freight
trains in H.O Scale, as I fondly remember seeing these in Chicago
Illinois when I was growing up back in those years on the south side.
A little too much camera flash, turned this photograph in to a scene
many people operating equipment in the transportation industry are
known to occasionally despise. The bright rising early morning sun,
is known to cause blinding visual effects causing one to squint, and
often requires the use of sunglasses for eye protection. It is not
a pleasant time of the morning, to be riding aboard any train or
mode of transportation, when the operator has to drive directly in
to the blinding and very bright sunshine.
