The Monticello Railway Museum of Monticello, Illinois, hosted its first Photographers' Weekend on April 24-25, 1999. The stars of the show were Wabash F7 1189 and Canadian National FPA4 6789. The F-unit pulled a freight train, while the Alco cab unit powered a short passenger train. Photographers were taken tio various locations on the museum's three-mile line in the Wabash caboose at the end of the freight. |
In a scene from southern Ontario (well, actually Illinois, but it could have been Ontario), Wabash 1189 and CN 6789 have a simulated meet.
