Chasing NS's "Urbana Local"; Rising to (near) Bement, IL, 03.29.13

Very cool :D It's nifty to see them running it long hood forward.

I see you caught D32, the Decatur-to-Normal local, at Mansfield. The TZPR and ALAB cars give it away. Autoracks blocked on the head end were for the now-closed Mitsubishi Motor Manufacturing of America assembly plant in Normal.

He sure was booking it on the P&E. Last I chased the local, they only did about 10-15 out there.

How often does the Norfolk Southern go to end of the line in Urbana?

[@RailfanningRulez]

Aw man sweet catch!

My video "Norfolk Southern Railroad in Ferguson, MO" shows that same GP38-2 running through Ferguson back in June of 2012. There are intervals you can skip ahead to, that will let you see it
