Getting a brief blast of sunshine in a long “tree tunnel” at milepost 120 between Sommer/Hollis and Kolbe, Illinois, is a westbound Keokuk Junction Railway freight on April 7, 2016. Two EMD FP9s (Nos. 1750 and 1752) and GP20 No. 2003 power the train of “hot cars” picked up at an interchange yard at Bartonville and are returning to Kolbe station (located near Mapleton) on this former TP&W line.
From a hint of "Bee" (NKP 765), colorful "Bees" (KCS), "Bees" w/ "attitude", to "Bees" that "sting" your eyes, in their own way they have "Bee" on display! Equipment that "Buzzes" with Yellow & Black colors! ("Bees" can still "Bee" entering this "hive"!)
