BNSF 4869 |
| Description: |
Back in Illinois, we just got off the bridge when we saw the glow of headlights off the rails around the curves so we pulled over and caught another westbound intermodel headed into Iowa outside of Niota, IL. We ended up catching one more train after dark on the Ottumwa Sub (which had a Grinstine for DPU of course). Ended up with 37 trains total today, 7 more than yesterday. Pretty nice day! Caught some pretty good stuff today! Tomorro we start working back east towards Mendota, IL where we will end the day. The Mendota Sub doesnt see nearly as many trains as the Transcon does but we should still see some neat trains! So long to Day 4! |

| Description: |
A westbound Q trains rear DPU decided to quit functioning on them in Fort Madison, which ended up stopping everything else until after the sun had set. After crossing the river into Illinois, we noticed that Z-WSPLAC8-24 had been lit up to come west, so we quick stopped at the curve at Niota to get what we could of the train. Obviously nothing great, but documented. |

| Description: |
A Fakebonnet trails 2nd on the Z train. Another really good day of railfanning. The only real slip up was the KCS leader outside of Smithshire. Looking back we should have stayed back at Ponemah, but it happens. Another really great show this year as well. The only thing I was disappointed with was there was a lack of Hot Wheel cars this year. I ended up picking up a DVD about the Kansas City area while dad bought several HO Scale freight cars. Since dad has a new job at the Seminary in Fort Wayne, we unfortunately had to cut the trip a day short, so the following day would be the final day trackside for the 2023 Galesburg Trip. Its been a really fun one so far, looking forward to what tomorrow brings! |
