OLD HOUSE SOCIETY

BLOOMINGTON, IL

Shirley You Can't Be Serious I had no plans to shoot trains this last weekend, but when attending the bi-annual Cornfield Free-mo meet in McLean, we got word of some Alton & Southern SD60s running south out of Bloomington. Wasn't sure I really believed it till I saw them honestly. But naturally, we had to go snatch a shot or two. We wound up at Shirley, and so did a bunch of others. I didn't realize there was a crowd following this train, but I guess that meant we were on the right track.

Anyways, the ALS SD60 duo was a pretty neat catch. We snapped them real quick and jumped back in the car to follow them on Route 66 back to McLean, where they'd be waiting for some northbound traffic to clear before heading further south. Nice to see some real trains on our model train day, too!
