C&NW #6814 Pekin, Illinois
A loaded coal train behind a pair of C&NW SD40-2's rolls south on Peoria & Pekin Union trackage through downtown Pekin. The power has just crossed Margaret Street and has entered a three or so block stretch of street running down 3rd Street.
In three blocks the train will enter Chicago & Illinois Midland trackage and continue a few more miles south to the power plant at Powertown to be unloaded.
The P&PU tracks have since been realigned and now run parallel to 3rd Street.
