Limestone for Labor Day
Holiday? Hell! Gotta keep those rocks moving.
CN's L544 blasts south through Marissa, IL with 30 loads of limestone from Kaskaskia Regional Port District Dock #1, addressed to Prairie State Energy Campus a few miles south - a transfer that happens every weekday. In return, the Dock gets fly ash loads. The crew would also retrieve 30 additional loads of fly ash for later pickup by L548, bound for industries across the U.S.
Thanks to WR for the photo concept, and the weather for cooperating; I got CF-ed last time I tried this; and the friendliest crew on CN. Always a smile and wave every time I saw them...must be ex-IC guys.
