Smokin' it up from an upgrade climb into town, a monster sized NS 145 04 manifest muscles through Tolono along the Norfolk Southern, ex Wabash, Lafayette District on a humid September afternoon. This train originates out east in Buffalo, NY as a manifest but west of Decatur after working Brush Yard, dropping off all its mixed traffic and picking up more 86' autopart boxcars off various inbound traffic, the train leaves west out of town as a high-priority autoparts train for Claycomo (Kansas City), MO where the Ford Motor Co. has an assembly plant set up.
