Well I got out a little today around Centralia, IL just because it warmed up to 40 degrees and the sun was shining. Boy, am I glad I did too, it was busy the 3 hours I was out. It all started with the NS's, NS #224, NS #168, and NS #112, all Westbound, followed each other into town. Then after they went through it was the Eastbound?s turn. NS #167 and NS #223 followed each other through town. Then a a CN train went North as a BNSF empty coal train passed him going into his yard. Finally, as I was calling it quits, I caught NS #111 at Hoffman as well as NS #69G, both Eastbound. All in all I saw 9 trains in a 3 hour period, not bad I thought.
Eastbound NS #224
