Nice consist, great to see some classic ATSF & TP&W.

Enough power to pull every freight car in town.

This train is westbound passing through Bartonville, Il, just south of downtown Peoria. It is running on trackage rights over Rock Island's Peoria Terminal Railroad to Hollis, a Jct where the Rock swings east over a lift bridge into Pekin, Il and the TP&W continues west to the Santa Fe at Lomax. Thats is an Amazing lash-up of power! Leave it to the Tip-Up. This line is now owned by the Union Pacific, and the Peoria & Western interchanges here with them using the A-B-A F units. Note the C&NW mainline to St. Louis passing over the end of the train in the backround.

You are most likely correct RI4310. It has been a long time, and my memory has failed me, but it had to be a westbound. I will change the caption information.
