NS local on the P&E  Contributor's Pick!       
NS SD60 6611 makes unlikely local power as it brings a set of tank cars past the former Peoria & Eastern depot in Urbana IL on a cloudy day in May 2004. In this case I'd stopped to shoot the depot and was somewhat surprised to have a train show up about five minutes later.

Doug Wolfe General Great catch. It is so rare to catch trains on this line anymore. Double check your dates at the top by the way! 12/30/2008 7:17:14 AM
John Teeter General Looks like it's coming back from the asphalt plant. BTW, they ALWAYS have 6-axle power on the train; they've had some problems with the tracks east of the station due to it. 3/23/2009 6:08:36 AM
John Teeter General They got smart; now they use only 4-axle power to the plant and on to Solo Cup 11/4/2009 6:42:47 PM
