I got out a little today(Sunday) and caught a few trains since the
weather was nice. It was a little bit slower than normal but all in
all had a good day. Here is what I came up with, enjoy!!!
Eastbound NS #223 passes milepost 79 just East of Dix, IL on the NS
Illinois Division. Checkout to two different number boards.

Nice pictures. I worked a derailment in 1971 on the curve just to the west of the 79 milepost. Two of the three units and about 40 cars. Nice one. Also flagged for a weed spray train that killed a bunch of apple trees in the orchard to the right of the units. Those were the good old days.
