This double-headed Norfolk Southern roadrailer heads East into Dawn near Tolono with NS 8849, a D8-40C, in the lead. This small CSX local heads under the US-45 underpass and crosses the Illinois Central diamond in Tuscola heading East. The engine is CSX 2711, a GP38-2. Notice the wideview caboose behind the engine.



The local reverses and drops off 3 of its 4 tank cars. Another shot of the local engine. This Union Pacific doublestack train heads West through Tuscola with UP 4247, an SD70M, in the lead.



Next to come through heading East is this sextuple-headed Union Pacific mixed freight with UP 9495, a D9-44CW, in the lead. Looking south along the Illinois Central tracks near the diamond in Tuscola. Note the HiRail on the right and the UP engine on the left. The CSX local, now car-less, heads back over the diamond West towards Decatur.
