Preserved steam at night. March 1986.

This time exposure photograph was taken on a cold Friday night in march of 1986. The location is Veteran's Park in the Northwest Suburban town of Bennsenville Illinois near O'hare Airport.

Chicago Gravel Company Steam switcher #18 is seen just east of Church Road, Just south of Irving Park rd I-19 On the Northside of the Soo Line (ex Milwaukee Road.) Mainline. Since this Photograph was taken...the display has grown with the addition of a Milwaukee Road passenger
car and a Bay window Caboose from the same Railroad as well. VANDALS BEWARE! Not only is the display "well lit" at night...But it is in plain sight of the Bennsenville Police Station too.
