Album Info:With all the track work that Canadian National has been doing to the former Elgin Joliet and Eastern Ry around Griffith, it was no surprise to see this long multi-purpose Herzog machine make an appearance. The difficult part is trying to capture a picture of the entire train so I did segments of it instead as it took the curve in town.
