Railfanning Central Illinois:
June 8, 2004

Previous | Next




I've never seen a CSX train on this ex-B&O track in Tuscola. We'd already seen one. Now, we get a second. This is amazing. This quadruple-headed CSX mixed freight heads West towards Decatur with CSX 5946. a B32-8, in the lead. This Canadian National train heads South through Tuscola with CN 2400 in the lead. This is the only train we saw go through Bement. This Norfolk Southern mixed freight heads East with UP 3916, an SD70M, in the lead.



Further down the line in Sadorus, we caught this Norfolk Southern auto parts train heading West with UP 3828, another SD70M, in the lead. This is the same Norfolk Southern train we saw in Bement. It heads East through Sadorus on its way to Tolono where it will experience a 10 MPH speed restriction due to MOW near the Illinois Central diamond. Back in Tolono, this local switching engine, NS 8668, is a C39-8.


Backing throught the diamond in Tolono heading South is this Illinois Central train headed by IC 6059, an SD40-2. Between Savoy and Tolono, this pair of engines heads South with GCFX 6035 in the lead.
