Rolling them back
Title:  Rolling them back
Description:  A pair of gray AC44s roll 75 empty cars north a few miles south of Decatur. I worked for JB Hunt at the time, who is a big user of intermodal. All their rail partners have contributed models, which are displayed in the main lobby. The KCS model has this unit, 4592, leading a set of stack cars. Its painted in the Belle scheme. In a case of art not imitating life, the prototype, seen here, is still gray.

Surprise
Title:  Surprise
Description:  I had heard a horn from the house, and took off for my usual quick ride to Westville. I was getting set up for the southbound I knew about, when I heard a train call the signal for Westville. Turned out to be the 181. The southbound was at Watts, waiting on this guy, who is now passing me going north, with a pair of KCSM GE"s leading 64 stack platforms, 6 autos and 27 articulated auto racks.

On the Illinois
Title:  On the Illinois
Description:  I took the chance that the 181 would make decent time through the siding, and I could get a shot on the Illinois River, which has perfect lighting this time of day. I bet right, and got a good shot here, and was able to get down toward Westville to shoot the grain train, too.
