Almost Western F-units
Author: highgreengraphics

On the Keokuk Junction Railway on 9/29, on the Eastern Board, within smelling distance of the Mississippi River, here is a view crossing the low-speed diamond over BNSF's Beardstown Sub in Bushnell, IL.

Happy F railfanning! === === = === JLH

On my visit there on the 8th of this month, they had a GP 20 on the point and a GP 20 behind the F units and at La Harpe they picked up a F7 B Unit before going back East

Not to start a fuss, BUT, I have always felt that West of Chicago
was Western board.  For the most part Chicago was the deviding line betrween the Eastern and Western carriers.

Love the shot of the wagons and I've never met a GP20 I didn't like. Looks to be a former ATSF GP20u. Thanks for sharing.

Cool, I will use Chicago as the divider instead of the Mississippi River as some have dictated! === === = === JLH

Thats how we in the Midwest feel too. Chicago was the gateway to the east.
