TZPR 3000 sits as it builds up air in the cut of cars to continue to switch North Limit Yard.

TZPR 3000 moves out of the hole to do some switching after the Iowa Interstate took their train.

IAIS 712 and 720 sit at the north end of North Limit Yard cleaning out the switch while waiting on the T&P to deliver their 35 cars to take back to Bureau.

Less than two weeks on the roster with fresh paint the T&P 3000 picked the ADM switch in downtown Peoria. Three cars and the locomotive were on the ground. The 3000 is also the first loco in th... (more)

IAIS 700 and 713 wait for the crew, in front of 713, to clean the switch of snow and ice before departing back to Bureau lite.

An interesting combination of a GP10 and SD18 cross the river into Peoria with some hoppers for ADM. The engines will then grab the empty coal train for the IAIS.

I&M SD18 61 and T&P GP10 3000 double team the 110 HLMX empties through Poeria in route to Hilliards where the CN will pick it up for the run to Decatur.

IMRR 61 with its S3L air horn screaming slowly growls through industrial Peoria as the sun just about calls it a day.

IAIS 708 and 704 pause between their switching while the TZPR's power arrives and prepares to take the coal empties through Peoria.

IMRR SD18 61 and TZPR GP10 3000 are now in charge of the 110 car empty coal train after picking it from the IAIS at the end of their Second Sub.

Light UP consist with an ex-CNW unit creeps along the Tazewell & Peoria tracks awaiting a signal to cross the Illinois River and into the ex P&PU's E.Peoria yard.

Stopped or not, this is what I consider stupid! The train took off just moments later to switch the IAIS interchange.

IORY 1501 & 1500 are returning home after delivering a cut of cars to UP's Collier Yard in Bartonville

A Tazewell and Peoria freight rumbles down the Peoria riverfront and past one of my favorite restaurants with a cut of grain cars from Iowa Interstate. And yes, the hot wings were delicious.
