TP & W Fairbury Turn- Return Trip at Cruger Illinois
Author: robj

Tuesday late  the TP &  W ran a turn from E. Peoria to Fairbury, IL .  They picked up loads and dropped empties at Fairbury.
The first two attached photos show the the return run approaching Eureka Wed. AM and the third arriving to switch the Farmland Co-op at Cruger.
Power is GP-50  5015 and SD-40-2 3440.

Having grown up in Illinois I understand the humidity and the haze. Awesome photos capturing the glow in the headlights too.

Thanks, the humidity worked once it got a little light but ruined the earler darker night shots as the light flared around the headlights creating a blob.

Yes, that third photo is outstanding - you can barely see the ugly paint on the lead locomotive.

Never have understood why TP&W is not part of the conversation to relieve Chicago congestion.

It would be if Conrail had not torn up former PRR Columbus to Chciago Mainline between Bradford, Ohio and Buckeye Yard in Columbus which is also one of the reasons why Buckeye Yard was retired.
