"Rock On, Little Giant!" - a photo on Flickriver

            CSXT 1875, one of CSX's heritage units - this one honoring the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad (known as "the Little Giant") - finds itself on a more remote part of the CSX system, this time on the New Rock Subdivision connecting Ottawa, IL with Barr Yard.

Here, the engine leads nocturnal road freight L396 from Ottawa to Barr past the restored Rock Island depot in Seneca, IL (now a museum). 

Not often you get a scene like this!
