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.

A Mighty Fine Line

Here’s a westbound Rock Island freight train crossing over the diamonds at Joliet, Illinois. The train is clattering over both the Santa Fe as well as the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio here. The lead unit seen here is a General Electric U28B built for the road in 1966.

okay but post-canon luo binghe suddenly being atticwifed by an overly jealous shen qingqiu and feeling euphoric bc omg shizun can't stand the thought of binghe being with anyone else and is locking him up to be his only thing in the world!! shizun wants only him and no one else!!! shizun is guarding him like vicious dragon guarding its precious treasure!! he's living it up being shizun's house wife only, doing nothing but serving his husband and proudly wearing the chain like it's a second wedding ring and basking in the jealous attention like there's no tomorrow

but then it turns out shen qingqiu actually got hit with one of pidw's wife plot-pollen that made him act so jealous and crazy, and when it's over (either by papapa or time), shen qingqiu profusely apologizes and says he'd never do such a thing to binghe and it wasn't like him at all and binghe stands there like "oh..."
