Riverport RR (RVPR) |
| Description: |
Luck-I arrived at their enginehouse just in time to see the only crew coming back from switching the car storage yard. Turns out 4029 is the last RS4TC running-2 others are sold, the other blew its engine and is stored in the house. The ubiquitous EMDs are looming... |

Burlington Junction-Ottumwa (BJRY) |
| Description: |
Getting this one was tough-it took shooting over the fence without being able to see what I was shooting-out of about 30 shots, this is pretty much the only one that came out. |

Only unit that wasn't parked behind piles of transloading, guess it'll have to do. |

Adams Industrial RR (AIRR) |
| Description: |
Adams Industrial RR (AIRR) is running the northwestern part of the old Big Sioux Army Depot, which was formerly operated by Sidney & Lowe (SLGG). AIRR interchanges with SLGG, has designated yard limits, and serves multiple industries, along with storing cars and transloading. However, AIRR isn’t a common carrier, but rather a contract carrier. 5105 has the non-AAR reporting marks AIRR on its cab. I was there looking for their Alco S6, which was nowhere to be seen, but this early NW2 is pretty rare itself. |

Missouri North Central (MNC) |
| Description: |
This pic officially breaks a record for me-3 trips to Chillicothe, 3 different shortlines, same unit twice. Last trip this was CBRM 4485, same paint, different owner. Also the run-down Wabash depot next door is now fixed up as a restaurant. Go figure. |

Burlington Junction Rwy-Mt Pleasant (BJRY) |
| Description: |
Wow they finally got around to painting 09. She has held down the assignment on a 1.5 mile branch in Mount Pleasant for decades, in her original military paint. This branch was BJRYs third operation. |

Illinois Railway LLC (IR) |
| Description: |
Amazed to find an actual painted Illinois Rwy engine, although the paint scheme is more a rolling billboard for owner Omnitrax. |

| Title: |
Peru Industrial Railway (PIR) |
| Description: |
PIR was a separate shortline, owned by the City of Peru. Their only connection was Illinois Railway, and the City leased operations to them. Eventually, IR owner Omnitrax bought the PIR, but it continues to be a separate operating company. The presence today of a Hudson Bay SD50 with OMLX reporting marks on the PIR is typical Omnitrax. These SD50s were a total failure on the Hudson Bay and wound up in Illinois pretty quickly, but the paint is still surprisingly good for as long as its been on. |
