Caught a good mix of trains during the first 10 days of the new year across the St. Louis area and in northwest Indiana. Included are CPKC, UP, NS, CSX, BNSF, CN, IC, CP, BNSF, Amtrak, etc. Best catch would be the NS B05 grain loads on the ex Michigan Central now Amtrak Michigan Line with a pair of GP60s leading the way! Enjoy and happy new year! #trains #railroad #railway #railfan #railroading #missouri #illinois #indiana #like #comment #subscribe
