A TP&W road freight heading West into Eureka with the small town of Secor, Illinois in the background as they parallel Route 24.
CP train 261 from Kansas City taking the siding in Letts to wait for their counterpart 260 to finish their work in Muscatine and head South / West.
In the background you will see an orange lifeboat mounted the same way it would be mounted on an actual ship. It is used by the students in the Marine Technology program at our local college for training purposes. The background is the grain elevators which are still in use for storing goods brought by the ships. In winter, we sometimes see the ice breaker make way for a big ship to enter our harbour. There are many facets to harbour life.
After a wait at Gilman the TPW EB freight hit the next town and another waiting game would begin as they spotted cars in town. TP&W was in usual fashion this day. The GP15 was a treat to have in the lead, which made the waiting games worth it.

The new Motive Rail company “Illinois Terminal Belt” pulling loads South through Wapella, IL on a Monday late morning. The ITB will bring this train to Clinton for the Canadian National to pick up.
BNSF 8258 leads a SD60M and Clay Boswell empties south down the Hillsboro Sub in Merrifield, ND.
Not all SD75s kept their Warbonnet scheme, but it was still nice to catch DC-powered coal trains at the end of 2007.
I caught this train coming in to Grand Forks with an Oakway second out (www.flickr.com/photos/chris_paulhamus/11356039513/), but that unit got left behind in the yard for a later train.
UP’s IG4LB used to be a daily train here on the BNSF Transcon until they pulled it off in about 2016. As of late it’s been rerouting somewhat frequently back through Mazon in the later afternoon hours which has gave a nice opportunity to shoot something non BNSF GE.
Just south of the Lincoln Highway (old US 30) we ran across this grain elevator that looked to still be in operation along the CF&E RR,
There isn't much left in Primate, Saskatchewan, but the gorgeous old grain elevator still stands guard over the prairie under Saskatchewan's living skies. Thanks to Sandra Herber for guiding me to see these prairie giants.
Spring colours not engaging so its an image... Flight numbers appear to have dwindled in recent years
The mural on the Ardent Mills grain elevator, by Australian Artist Guido Van Helton, wraps all the way around the silos.
A young Management Trainee took this picture from the caboose platform as the crew of Missouri Pacific's Topeka Local works the Overbrook elevator on MP's Topeka Branch while enroute back to Osawatomie. "Oz" was the Kansas Division headquarters at the time. The GP38-2 that was built earlier in the year looks good despite the fresh weathering of road dust. The branch line was ripped out sometime after the 1982 UP-MP-WP merger, ending service to this elevator. 5-22-1980
This grain elevator makes sure we know where we are. This little town is on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River just north of the Saint Louis area. . Part of the town is situated on some bluffs overlooking the river.
It's a cold day on the prairies of Saskatchewan. Here we see the traditional wooden elevator beside the new steel storage bins.
From inside of the Canadian Northern Railway roundhouse in Big Valley, Alberta, looking out to the town's grain elevator.
A non-familiar but familiar face in IC 3108 leading the CN train M335 North out of Ashkum, IL. They would take the siding to meet a Southbound before they continued their trek North towards CN Kirk Yard in Gary, IN. They added this unit onto the train in Fulton, KY and it made it until the train’s destination at Kirk Yard in Gary, Indiana.
