The New Railroad

CPKC 253 splits the mighty town of New Lebanon, Illinois in half with a pair of filthy, ridden hard KCS SD70ACe's on the head end of the 8500 foot train. After switching Hines Lumber and letting the sun sink in to the haze for the past 45 minutes, they are finally underway and this was about the best light we were able to get on it before the clouds told us to piss off and better luck next time. The property owner says he wants to put a new elevator up, obviously meaning this one, a staple of one of the many D&I photo locations, would come down. Once I heard that, I decided it might be worth fumbling around with the stupid drone. So, here you go. Awkwardly cropped, dirty KCS 4057.
