With three days off consecutively this week (due to holiday), I decided to make another trip over to Illinois to try to see some more old Illinois Central SD70s. I spent Thursday riding mostly, following the Evansville & Western briefly before checking out CN's Bluford Sub and UP's Mount Vernon Sub....

I made two trips over to the Effingham, Illinois area in the past month to try and catch Illinois Central SD70s in operation on Canadian National. My first trip was August 7th/8th.

Add 1235 to your list of repaints if you haven't already. Looked pretty fresh today..

Add 138 to the list. Got a photo of it trailing on Q133 yesterday in Louisville.

The new logo image continues to find its way onto new types of rolling stock. Here in New Haven, CT, yesterday I spied a lineup of four brand new single lid coil cars in CSXT's Cedar Hill yard. All sport the "boxcar" logo and have "How Tomorrow Moves" under the lettering but above the wheels. The e...

I live an hour and a half from the place and I couldn't care less.

That pdf file is missing a few Main Line Sub trains, namely Q201,Q202,Q210,Q211,Q212,Q220,Q235,Q237,Q275,Q525,Q534, and Q504/Q505 off the LCL. Unless the whole thing is just a list of symbol changes or something else I missed.
