I got out a little this past weekend and captured some railroad action. On Saturday I headed up to Centralia and Salem, Illinois for the afternoon. Then all day Sunday Dad and I took a trip down Route 3 along the UP Chester Sub. between Gorham and Wolf Lake, Illinois. It was a busy day, plus saw a few surprises, 2 new KCS locomotives and a visit from CNW #8701. And the weather was just perfect!!!
Here is what I came up with. I will go in reverse, starting with Sunday.
