Viewing Album:  EJE 668
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:2/19/2012 - 2/19/2012
Album Info:When Elgin Joliet and Eastern 668 rolls through Griffith, it's just not the same. Sure she looks shiny and clean but now wearing the Canadian National red, white and black livery instead of her bright orange, it just seems so wrong. She still has the mournful whistle so you know who she is but now she looks like a painted lady of the evening.
