White flags flying, Mars light waving... the Nebraska Zephry rolls through Main St. on its way to CUS for the weekends excursions.

Pulling back out of the spur at Peerless Confectionary.

Peterbilt 378 meets Electromotive MP15AC... truck was being unloaded by the same lumber yard the train is about to deliver to.

Probably something we will never see again, the 4160 coupled nose to nose with the 8701.

Now I don't feel so bad on missing out on the street running this week, not the most attractive unit.

I saw him walking out... keep in mind he also had to wait for the automobiles too. "DUH" is all I can think.

A-B-A set of F7s, the 901 wearing the colors of the Wisconsin & Calumet Ry.

The Chicago Great Western lives on in 2008, on a great looking caboose.

Faded ex-Metra, nee C&NW f-unit at IRM.

A unique consist... superliner coach, a combine w/ blanked out windows, a viewliner sleeping car, & a horizion coach. I'm assuming this is the "Hoosier State" from Indy.

The Illinois Railway Museum's CB&Q 9911A sits over a pit track inside the roundhouse in Spencer. The cab tours were held here in the roundhouse.

The Frisco 1630 waits to run her last train of the evening. During the Illinois Railway Museum's showcase weekend event, Saturday included night running.

The 2008 version of the Norfolk Southern holiday train departs as Mrs. Claus and off duty train crew wave.

Vacant of crossing signs or lights... the local enters the street running on Madison.
