Network Redundancy

Thanks to an X396 derailment on the Main Line of Mid-America, CN was forced to detour several freights up the Peoria and Gilman Subs, underutilized secondary lines that come in quite handy for network redundancy. This U757 ethanol empty is charging through the quiet hamlet of Parnell, just outside of Farmer City, Illinois on the Gilman Subdivision. This line still sports several US&S mast-mounted P-2 signals in ABS territory and no PTC.
