Impending Doom There's always been junk on the ground around the grain elevator at Metcalf, IL. Seems like every time I visit I'm left wondering if that's a sign of its impending demolition or what. My last venture down to shoot DREI's 101, I wasn't sure how to shoot Metcalf. It's an awkward area, but the metal junk around the elevator caught my eye and so I shot the then-new GP59 and its 'SD45' cohorts. I would learn just a few weeks later that the feeling that nagged me every time was there for a reason, and that the Metcalf elevator had been demolished. Though it wasn't a particularly pretty one, it is always a shame to lose more elevators. Suffice to say, I wish I had shot the elevator itself here, but alas. Maybe there's some lesson to be learned here... Like if you see a pile of junk in front of a grain elevator, go shoot the elevator.

Yeah, that seems like a good lesson to me.

Back on the Move Having made their single car setout and put the train back together, DREI 101 departs from Metcalf. It's a straight shot from here to Chrisman, where the train will terminate for the day. Metcalf is home to an interesting old square elevator, though it, like most local elevators, appears to be dormant. I wonder how long that'll stay standing?

Crossing Back DREI 101s work en-route to Chrisman took it to Metcalf, where it would set out the lone lumber car up front on the Charleston Sub with a locomotive already waiting there, just to the south of town. The diamond in town here, formerly the B&amp;O and the NKP, requires the conductor to basically request permission for the railroad to cross over itself. A fairly simple task, but there is quite a delay between hitting the button by the diamond and the signals actually lighting up to let them across. It's a neat little self-interchange, I'd say.

With their one car set out, WAMX4134 crosses back over the Decatur sub to return to its train and continue the last leg of its morning journey.
