January 17, 2016 – Cotton Belt engine (UP1963) at Mount Vernon, IL

January 17, 2016 - Another neat find at Mount Vernon, Illinois, on my way home from St. Louis, was this ex-Cotton Belt engine (UP1963) tied to GMTX/GATX 2156 at one of the crossovers in town waiting for a crew or signal, not sure which. Both engines were running. - Tech Info: 1/1250 | f/2.8 | ISO 100 | Lens: Sigma 24-70 @ 24mm with a Nikon D800 shot and processed in RAW.
