Westbound Burlington Northern Railroad freight train behind Tiger Striped EMD model GP-50's. La Grange Illinois USA. June 1986.

I spent a considerable amount of time railfanning the Burlington Northern 3 track Chicago to Aurora Illinois mainline, on location in La Grange Illinois during the 1980's. It was a colorful time back in pre BNSF Railway days in the west suburban village of La Grange Illinois.

I photographed this westbound Burlington Northern freight train, at the La Grange Road railroad crossing in June of 1986. The Burlington Northern applied this unique one of a kind experimental black and orange Tiger striped scheme, only on it's EMD model GP-50 roadswitchers.
