Racks at Veech
On a blustery day in spring of 2015, NS SD70 2577 is running solo, westbound with autoracks on what was the Wabash's main line between Detroit and Kansas City- still the endpoints for much of the line's traffic today. What doesn't still exist today, sadly, are these Wabash searchlights at Veech, (and many others elsewhere along the line) location of crossovers just west of Bement, where NS's Bloomington District (formerly Wabash's 7th District) joins. Also near here, Illinois Terminal's Champaign-Decatur line once swung west to parallel the Wabash main- the right-of-way can still very clearly be seen in this area.
