Main Two to Venice

KCS BKCVN-24 runs south through Lenox Interlocking at Mitchell, IL after a 70-mph jaunt from Wann Interlocking on UP's Springfield Sub. The train will tie down in KCS Venice Yard while its privileged passengers enjoy another year of the Bommarito Automotive Group 500, an IndyCar Series race held at Gateway Motorsports Park in Madison, IL.

 

Note the work in the background to replace the legacy signals here, signalling the end of Lenox tower as a controlling agency at this busy confluence of St. Louis railroading.

 

Thanks to WR and MM for the heads up and periodic updates as this train crossed Missouri and Illinois.
