The LSF54 Local rolls south thru Normal, IL after working the north end of the Joliet Sub.
I spent two hours driving around Bloomington-Normal looking for any kind of train or locomotive to photograph while my wife was shopping. I gave up in disgust and went back to the mall to hang with the Mrs. That, of course, was when the scanner came to life with Dispatcher 28 calling this guy to see how they wanted to yard their train in Bloomington. I barely made it back to the tracks in downtown Normal to bag this shot.

A surprising feature to the day, as 60063 arrived into Liverpool Bulk incredibly late. Here it passes a dull Winwick Jn working 6F74 the 12:12 Liverpool Bulk Terminal - Fiddlers Ferry Power Station 3/1/14
Cold, wet, but... normal. Some of us prefer it to working in cosy slippers and pyjamas at home... (Warm but unable to meet live people except through some remote screen - or, soon, a Metaverse headset?..)
