Isn't this the most perfect scene? This photo was taken November of 1979, with a beautiful, freshly painted Chicago Northwestern engine pulling matching green and yellow cars through Huntley. The Huntley Farm Store (John Deere) was for sale and Marlowe Feed and Hatchery had the old paint scheme advertising Honegger Layers. On the left, cars from Pfaff's Auto Sales can be seen sitting on the corner of Rt. 47 and Main Street. Today, any train that comes through is full of mismatched, rusting cars hauling automobiles from the Belvidere plant, and the farm store, Marlowe Feeds, and Pfaff's are long gone. Such a shame.
