I wasn't planning on railfanning this morning. I got up at around 4:30A.M. and for some reason left the scanner on and heard 6920 getting a warrant outside town. I threw some clothes on and gave chase to find out it was on point of a empty auto rack train from the A&S Yard in East Saint Louis, IL to Normal, IL. Turned out to be a good day! Here are the shots through out the day! Enjoy!
