Decatur and Eastern Illinois (DREI) (former-NS/ex-SOU 5020) GP38-2 #3896 leads a four-unit consist and 112-car loaded grain train south out of Oakland, Illinois. The deactivated approach signal once warned north-bound Nickel Plate crews of a crossing with the Pennsy, now long gone.
A Watco subsidiary, the DREI initiated operations in September 2018 with the purchase of the CSX (ex-B&O) Decatur Subdivision and Danville Secondary Subdivision, connecting Decatur, Illinois and Terre Haute, Indiana. In December 2019, the railroad expanded by acquiring the Eastern Illinois Railroad (EIRC), consisting of approximately 56-miles of the former Nickel Plate Cloverleaf line between Neoga and Metcalf. The two lines are connected at Metcalf, forming a “V” pointed to the north east.
The train will head south for Charleston, pick up a fifth unit, and press on for Neoga, where the railroad interchanges with Canadian National. Although the hogger hasn't turned on the headlight yet, 3896 sports a wonky set of ditch lights that flash in unison, permitting me to time this shot to their "on" cycle.

When I was in Oxford back in the late sixties, I lived in Digs and from time to time when my landlady was not around she would leave a "cold dinner plate" in the larder for me. Always good! Confession -- this is not real ice but rather "prop ice" made of acrylic for use in photos and movie sets. For the Smile on Saturday challenge: "Presented on a Plate."
Saturday Self Challenge; White on White
Not the easiest challenge, and after various attempts, finally on settled on these two white dinner plates. For better or worse, they were in dappled light, hence the shadow in the background.

Still looking good nine years after its painting but in need of a bath, Norfolk Southern's Nickel Plate heritage locomotive leads train 16G through CP 102 in Macedonia, Ohio.
Mile Marker Zero ~ Illinois Prairie Path Trail Head ~ Wheaton, Illinois
Mile Marker Zero is the junction of the three branches of the Illinois Prairie Path, a place where runners, hikers, cyclists and nature lovers begin and conclude their journeys. It's also a crossroads rich in heritage. The Prairie Path follows the right of way of the former Chicago, Aurora and Elgin Railroad, known as the "Roarin' Elgin" or "Great Third Rail," which operated from 1902-1957.

I've had this little collection going for a few months. The plates hadn't seen the light of day, but now, they're having a wall to themselves, (I hope, Taff?!).
Westbound NS train 112 waits on the main at New Baden, IL on the Southern-West District, with Nickel Plate heritage ES44AC #8100 in the lead. In another 30 minutes, it will meet eastbound 167 then proceed to St. Louis for work at Luther yard, before heading on to Kansas City.
With a call time at Princeton, IN for late the previous night, I wasn't sure this train was going to see enough daylight at St. Louis to make it worth waiting around for. However, when I headed out at 0430 that morning, with plans to railfan Indiana, I heard the dispatcher give 112 a warrant from Shattuc (near Centralia) to New Baden for the meet. I'm glad I took a chance because 167 took its sweet time, setting this train up for some great morning shots.
Thanks go to Will R. for the updates.
