wavy trackwork, Jolliet, Illinios, 1977

 
A pic taken in 1977 of Rock Island unit 630, an EMD model E6A, built in 1941. Today it is owned and operated by the Midland Railway of Baldwin City, Kansas.  The camera settings probably exaggerate the undulations in the track, even so, it clearly wasn't suitable for high speeds.
