5. NB coal empty with CN 3092. 6. CN 3109, DPU    Date: 01/09/19 14:56 Re: 5 trains at Carbondale, IL today (1/9/19) Author: bodkin6071 7. NB grain empty with CN 5778 and 5791.
8. Short NB Q197 with CN 3813. He was doing every bit of the speed limit thru town, which has since been raised, thanks in part to recent track work. Think its now 50? 9. CN 3024, DPU.

Wonder if they did the same on main one at Centralia? It sounded nice hitting that joined rail, especially on main one in Centralia as you could get some speed up.

That is a very good Amtrak locomotive. Great photos! Date: 01/10/19 06:50 Re: 5 trains at Carbondale, IL today (1/9/19) Author: IC1038west Great catches at C'dale and environs. Excellent angle showing the welds on Main 1 south of Dillingers crossing. Nice capture on image #7. CNIC should have bought all the EMD superfleet surplus power off of BNSF and kept the used motive power supply chain consistent. Nice post.

That was to celebrate CN as a private company on its 15th anniversary (sorry, forgot the year). They used to be a Candian government corporation. Bruce Stikkers St. Joseph, IL |
