IAIS 515
Title:  IAIS 515
Description:  After the grain trains, things finally began to die down on the Mendota Sub, and we knew we wouldnt have anything more before it got too dark. We decided to head down to the Transcon to finish the day. When we got to Peru/La Salle, however, we heard IAIS CBBI key up CSX Dispatch to get a warrant to continue east toward Blue Island. We had already passed the exit we needed to get off at in order to chase it, so we got off at the next exit and turned around. When we went over the tracks the train was already passing underneath us, so we quick got on to I80 and drove far enough east to where we thought we were well out ahead of it. We ended up stopping in Ottawa, realizing that we got there well before the train. The sun ended up setting and a storm rolled in before the train showed up, which was only doing 10 MPH through town, but we got it with just enough light. What a way to end a trip! Despite being shorter than usual Galesburg trips, we came away with good buys at the show and a lot of great trains go to along with them! Another successful Galesburg trip with dad!

CREX 1328
Title:  CREX 1328
Description:  CREX 1328 trails on NS 25A southbound through Ossian. It seems like whenever you a BNSF unit that a CREX unit is bound to trail! I think BNSF has 100 of these units on lease.

CSX 1776
Title:  CSX 1776
Description:  Things got very quiet as they usually do on the Indy Line after Corman came in so I began working east. CSX 1776, the Spirit of Our Armed Forces" unit was leading northbound I142 on the Toledo Sub and with it being so quiet outside I began to wonder if it was really worth my time sitting along the Indy Line to get any of the other signals. I eventually caved and went to the Toledo Sub right as I142 was working north through Sidney. Thanks to I75, I was able to chase the train to Wapak where I finally got ahead of it, and grabbed a shot of it passing the station there. This was the last Spirit unit I had yet to get leading a train, so in a way it was worth it, but that means another trip to the Indy Line will be in store at some point.

CSX 1776
Title:  CSX 1776
Description:  By the time M351 went through, B157 was getting close as well. Todays B157 featured the Spirit of Our Armed Forces specialty unit on the front. We wanted something to frame with the train, so we decided to get a side shot of the unit and the tower with it at Walkerton. I had never shot from this side before. Turned out pretty good! This was Dads first time catching one of the special painted Spirit units as well.

CN 2794
Title:  CN 2794
Description:  With the Big Boys arrival into Watseka not being until 5 PM, we decided to begin our day in Illinois on the CN Chicago Subdivision. We were hoping for a deathstar leader on the daily local to Otto and back, but no such luck, as a SD70M-2 was assigned to that job that day. However, we did see a headlight for a road train when we crossed the tracks at north Gilman, so we raced north to Danforth and grabbed CN M335 coming by the elevator and depot with an ex-CITIRAIL GEVO on the head end. The first time either of us had shot one of these leading since CN acquired them. This day was starting out pretty well.
