Interesting; thanks for the info.

After work I went to the local grocery store and there were several railroad pics on the wall; unfortunately there were no captions/info on the pics. Also, the white spot/glare on some of the pics is from lights in the store.

Started working on BNSF's Aurora Sub Monday morning. Unfortunately our shift starts at 230 am with a 6 hour window so not much chance of getting pics. While tied down in the siding at Chadwick, IL this morning around 9:15 this eastbound COFC-TOFC came through and I was able to get a pic.

Got into Savanna, IL today and had to go to the Dubuque,Iowa airport ot pickup a crew member. On the way I overtook and extremely long freight and was able to pull off and get a grab shot of the power at a crossing outside of Sabula, IA.

I hate seeing abandoned rail lines; I always think of the men that built them and wonder what steam power ran over them before diesels took over, although I enjoy first generation power.

That is the right place; any idea when it was abandoned?

These new CP SD70ACu's came through Litchfield,IL heading toward St Louis.

I work for a railroad contractor and am working on BNSF in Litchfield, IL.

The Winston-NS diamond is going to be replaced soon; I got this pic a couple days ago when crossing the diamond.
