Another early morning surprise as 1069 & 8104 lead a delayed 30N train from Madison, IL to Decatur, IL (usually a midnight train) but due to a derailment it got pushed back until this morning. Shot this train at various locations along route 48 in IL. When it got to Decatur NS wye'd the power and 1069 & 8104 got sent to KC on auto parts train 145. Anyways, here are the shots! Enjoy!
