I took this photo during a photo runby at Richfield Illinois near Harvard. The Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad, Chicago's Metra commuter rail agency, and the Chicago chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, operated this one day only "Last Run" charter fantrip from Chicago to Harvard Illinois on Saturday, October 28th 1989. The occasion was the retirement of the last three early 1950's vintage EMD E-8 passenger cab unit diesels owned by Metra. The last three EMD E-8's with commuter coaches in tow, are seen performing one of a few photo runbys at Richfield Illinois.Wednesday, November 21, 2007
