Rare Pair
And now a pair no longer.
Illinois Midland RS1325s #30 and #31 bring a healthy-sized Powerton Roadswitcher south near Manito, IL. This one-time chase was the result of a lucky snippet of radio chatter between dispatcher and "something" 30 while I was enroute to Peoria. A quick check of Google and former plans were "circular filed" in favor of catching this move.
Glad I did it; sorry I'll never have another chance. #30 now works on the Atlantic and Western, another G&W shortline located in North Carolina.
