Wabash Cannonball

A nice way to kick off the New Year...

 

I had gone out early this morning to look for a GoRail-led inbound train that had unfortunately already gotten into Decatur before I hit the road. However, I settled for a great consolation prize of an empty coal train from the Iowa Interstate in Cedar Rapids, IA bound for loading at Deer Run Mine near Hillsboro. NS 403 with the Wabash heritage unit leading departs off the Loop at Wabic as the train is bound for the Brooklyn District, looking good in the best light of the day. In the back right, CSX keeps busy scurrying around their small railyard.
