CITX 3101 East by Forreston, Illinois

The day's "272" train led by a pair of grey CITX SD40-2 leasers.

 

About 2 minutes of video, including a shot of stone bridge supports of the abandoned Illinois Central's "Gruber Line" is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhZL09r3EXw

 

This looks like an interesting old rail location. Remains of the Gruber line are clearly visible. Including a small trestle. And it appears that there was a connector in the northwest quadrant.
