A Switcher for Saturday
Author: swaool

RVPR is the Riverport Railroad, which operates trackage at the former Savanna (IL) Army Depot, now an industrial park. RVPR SW1200 501 is ex-GMTX 501, nee-EJ&E 302 (25849, 5/60). They also have several former US Army BLH RS4TCs in residence. Seen on 6/22/2026, Jeff Van Cleve photo, my collection.

I just looked at Google Earth, and it looks like just car storage. Are there any industries that are rail-served?

Jeff says that the facility is primarily used for car storage, and the industries in the warehouses appear to be truck-served.
