UP 1996, the SP Painted Heritage Locomotive, leads the MASIH 12 (the Mixed Freight, Alton Southern RR in East St. Louis, to Indiana Harbor Belt RR in Dolton, IL) at the North End of Olhman, IL Siding on UP's Pana Subdivision on December 12, 2009. It waits for an empty Coal train to pass, and gave this photographer plenty of angles to shoot this locomotive. It should be noted that this is private farm land next to UP's ROW and had permission from the land owner to take this picture.
