I see a lot of fancy modern locomotives featured on Mastodon's train track Tuesday, but none are finer than EMD's F7. This one operatates at the Illinois Railway Museum. The fact that this particular locomotive went into service the year and month I was born has nothing to do with it

Hello world, I'm Totorose, your neighbor and forest sprite.
I grew up with chickens and mossy sheds in #Chicago, back of the yards.
I love #science and #biology. I'm an alumna of #IllinoisTech #IIT
I enjoy #walking the Illinois Prairie Path and nearby #forest preserves seeking curiosities, friendly mulberry trees & #moss.
I like #thrifting in #resale shops, wandering museums, #baking #cookies, enjoying #kpop videos and obsessing over my #heatpump data.
