Prototype Pic of the Day #18

Lake State Railway Alco C425 #1280 | Image courtesy of Ron Cady via RailPictures.net

Continuing with the Alco theme again, today's picture is another former Detroit & Mackinac locomotive. This one is a great shot of 1280, also known as "The Blue Devil" and "City of Grayling" running between streets somewhere in northern Michigan. I like the look of the blue sky in the background and the flowers in the foreground make this a perfect picture for this time of year. Now it just needs to actually be as nice outside as this picture looks.
