A 1960's era American freight train in H.O scale passes by., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.

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

I grew up in Chicago during the 1960's and 70's, and I enjoy modeling the everyday American freight trains from that era I had once seen almost daily in Chicago.

These cars from the former New York Central and the Baltimore & Ohio, and were typical of the cars found on 1960's era American freight trains.
