ILLINOIS MILITARY MUSEUM

GREENUP, IL

Last Minute Changes By the pattern A-train power tends to rotate these days - switching from the Centralia-Gary megalocal to locals on the J and then back to A408 - everything seemed perfect for the IC1000 to be our southbound leader. Well, evidently someone wyed the power, so IC1020 took the lead instead. Womp womp. Not to be outdone, A408 also set off from Gary very early. This has been a pattern for a while, but they were out of Champaign before 6:30am. I also happened to wake up at that time as I expected 7-8am instead, so you can tell how the start to things went. Wild start to the day. Of course, the last thing to change at the last second was autofocus! Of the frames I shot here at Sigel, the last two, which are the two I was planning to pick from and edit after my initial glance afterwards, evidently failed to focus. Unsalvageable, and frustrating. But, all of my last-second scramble up the giant gravel pile (thanks, slow drivers, for the mad dash there) was thankfully not in vain, as a few more frames had survived my camera deciding it didn't want to focus. Huzzah. Probably worked out better that way anyway, the crop here came out just as well if not a bit better than the wider shot I had been going for originally. I guess some last minute changes work out.
