In the upper photo, the Abraham Lincoln poses at an unknown location on single track during Baltimore & Ohio ownership of the Alton Route. This could be a railroad publicity photo. The post card shows the unit operating as an Alton Railroad train, though in the B&O blue livery. In the lower photo, again during the B&O era, the train appears to be halted southbound at Bloomington with the old Beich Candy Company plant in the background. These views are from the Gary Thompson collection.
