Today Nick is in Logansport with his family for the next 2 weeks, so I headed over to Logansport to do some fanning with him and Ethan. Last night TPW parked a train on the Bringhurst Branch (line that passes through Clymers) and the goal was to get that moving, but they put a crew in in too late and we never ended up catching it moving. But we were able to get some nice shots with the bridge over the Wabash River! |

| Description: |
Since I was on this side of Kankakee, and I knew today was a "north" day for the Kankakee Hop, I decided to head north to Manteno to see if I could catch it one more time. I wasnt in Manteno for more than 20 minutes before I was alerted that the KBS was on their way back from Lafayette. This far north, I was a solid hour from Sheldon, and I needed to fill up with gas. So, I decided to leave the CN behind and head for Sheldon. As it turned out, the KBS had about every single grain elevator to work on their way back, so I had more than enough time (but at the time, I was totally unaware of that). So, when I arrived in Sheldon, the KBS was quiet. But, the TPW was not. There were two crews working the yard at Effner. So, I decided to go check that out. TPW is in the middle of a yard expansion project at Effner, which is making their operations a little funkier than they already are. There was a four pack of EMDs heading light east out of the yard when I got there, and I wasnt sure where they were going or how far they were going, so I decided to see. As it turned out, there was an entire train parked on the main line right outside of the yard. Typical TPW. And even more typical for them to run a four unit consist with both outside units facing in on the other engines... sigh. But, it made for a good shot of the train with the Effner grain elevator and the Indiana State Markers. The closest I had been to Indiana in two weeks. But, still not crossing over just yet! |
