Quad Cities Rocket
This is an eastbound Rock Island Quad Cities Rocket with E8 655 on the point. That locomotive was built for the railroad in March of 1952.
The location, of course, is the well-known crossing with the ATSF and GM&O at Joliet, Illinois.
One photograph by Richard Koenig; taken September 20th 1975. As I've stated before when I posted this image: one of my earliest images, not old enough to drive as I recall.
