The Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois is dedicated to restoring the history of the grand days of railroading. From steam to diesel engines, private VIP passenger cars, Pullman sleepers and coach cars, all the way to freight cars (there is even a circus train in dire need of restoration) the volunteers at the museum work hard to restore the history of luxurious rail travel.
The engine, 1518, in this image is a workhorse freight yard switch engine. No long hauls for this one as it (dis)assembled freight trains as the arrive at the freight yard or are being readied for embarkation to points far away. Still a bit rusty, this is one of the fully functional diesel engines at the museum.

I processed the raw image file using Photomatix Pro 5, filters from Topaz Labs including Detail 3, BW Effects 2 and DeJPEG 4 as well as some minor tweaking in Photoshop including sCurve adjustments, brightness, saturation and the camera raw filter to produce this HDR black and white image.
