Illinois Railway La Salle to Zearing branch Vol-1

[@marka5478]

Shortlines and regional railroads really go after the carloads.

Good video! I am a "Railfan" from MI and this branch now uses a Hudson Bay Railway SD50! I have never seen any of these Hudson Bay Railway SD50s in person! Illinois Railway still has two of them, per research on the web! One is working out of Oregon, IL! Now, I am travelling with my good friend "Mazon" in October! Our plan is to stay in Mendota for Amtrak/BNSF! The eastbound Southwest Chief should have private cars on the rear Tuesday Oct. 10, 2023!!!! After that train, in the early afternoon, we plan on seeing IR! We will start at Zearing (for more Amtrak/BNSF)! Where could we find this train with the HBR engine? Do we just follow the tracks from Zearing? What time (approx.) does IR interchange with BNSF? What time would it go to Peru/LaSalle area? What time do they tie up? Where is the engine kept? Thanx! 😁 RJ
