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.

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.

Orange is my least favorite color. Its the topic for Our Daily Challenge today. I told myself that I would go into the thrift store and come out with something orange I was happy aboutl Surely a contrast to all my turquoise dishes - I do actually like the 2 dinner plates and 4 sandwich plated I got for $2.00
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.
Amtrak has been working on maintaining or upgrading the Downeaster tracks near my house. They are replacing the railroad ties, and this is a pile of "tie plates", which go in between the rails and the ties. Who knew? I'll tell you who - Google's AI knew. It won't be long before AI knows everything and we know next to nothing. But I digress.

Plate holder
Record Rapid RRS1
Try out how paper can be exposed in the plate holder. It turns out that this old RR paper has a strange edge. As if the paper has been wet. I think it has something.
I rate the paper at 3 asa.
I changed these paper negatives to positive by PS.
