Oil train heads south toward Saint James, LA, by way of UP's Chester Sub at KK Road

Southbound freight passes one of many farms along the Mississippi River bottoms of Monroe County, IL.

Southbound intermodal passes KK Road just south of Valmeyer, IL. Luckily, I survived this shot with only three chigger bites. I was expecting worse.

EMOSTL 26 passes by KK Road on its way to Sterling, IL, with a group of 22 former SP MK SD40-2s in tow.
