EJ&E 668 in Bi-Centennial paint - and this WAS paint, not Scotchlite - in March, 1977 in North Chicago, IL. The location is atop the embankment just after the train crossed the bridge over the C&NW and Sheridan Road. I had to climb the embankment, in the snow, in order to get a decent view of the 668. From the ground, the angle was bad and so was the shrubbery.

EJ&E End of Track. Cast concrete marker at the end of EJ&E track on the far north side of Waukegan, IL, in September, 1973. The track did continue into the sprawling Johns-Manville plant, but EJ&E's ownership ended at this post. Sometime after Manville shut down, and EJ&E pulled its track back, this post was there for the taking. Later on, it got hit, most likely by a vehicle that got totalled in the process, and was snapped off above the ground. I tried to grab it, but it was way too heavy to lift. It layed there for a long time, but it's gone now.
