This photo says Granite City, Illinois, but also looks like it could be an early Museum of Transport photo. Anyone know?

As it looks today, restored. It is normally under cover.

There are a substantial number of IT photos in most of the March 2007 postings of the ABPR if anyone is interested.

That is the Museum of Transport. The tunnel entrance is just past the rear of it.

Also, the other cars in the photo are members of the MOT collection - IT 241 in the left background, IT 104 in the right foreground, and SLPS 742 between 1595 and 104 (the car visible over 1595's deck looks like one of the SLPS standards but I'm not certain).
