Ambush!

Yes this is at the Illinois Railway Musuem. As the train comes to a screeching halt the cornfield opens up with guns. The German soldiers rush out to protect the train. The Americans flank them, come up the side of the train rescue their captured pilot and leave. The firing stops, and the remainder of the German Soldiers board the train. This is the Illinois Railway Museum's first annual WW2 reenactment the Anzio Express. What you just saw was an ambush on the coach train. For anyone who cares the lead engine was SP 1518.
