May 19, 2018 – After two great days of capturing steam action at the Monticello Illinois Railway Museum I made the trip home along with fellow railfans Ryan Scott and Bryan Burton and it was a great day! Everywhere we stopped we only had to wait 15 minutes or so before trains came along and we did this all the way back to Princeton, Indiana! It was a great day of railfanning and a lot of nice photos coming up over the next week or so between steam and diesel!
Plan is to post steam in the mornings and diesel shots from the trip in the evening, so look for two posts a day!
This shot is of a light engine, NS 6096, and a mixed freight, with NS 9854 leading, pulling westbound over the WABIC Diamond from the NS Yard at Decatur, Illinois, with the city in the background. – #jimstrainphotos #illinoisrailroads #trains #nikond800 #railroad #railroads #train #railways #railway #ns #norfolksouthernrailway
