ILLINOIS HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME & MUSEUM

PINCKNEYVILLE, IL

Wondering Where To Go Armed only with the knowledge that L588 was on duty at 8am and supposedly Eldorado-bound on Mondays, I showed up to south end of Centralia's massive yard at just the right time to hear them getting their clearances to leave. They were on the main by 9am, and boy were they really moving! I'm so used to seeing Geep-led locals running at paltry speeds I wasn't prepared for these guys to be really putting down the hammer.

I hadn't really planned anything south of Centralia honestly. I settled on a spot but barely even made it in time thanks to the speed on our lone ex-GTW, exx-CRIP Geep. Ashley is known for its double watertowers and the old Illinois Central tracks laid right in between them, making a classic scene for southern Illinois. I definitely didn't have enough time to appreciate the scene, so someday I'll have to come back for another spot. Seemed a nice place to catch a train or two.

GTW5861 handles its three cars on L588 with ease as it rockets through the village of Ashley, IL, splitting its iconic double watertowers.
