Illinois Midland #31 at the Monticello Railway Museum!

Still something more recent, here is EMD RS1325 #31 running at the Monticello Railway Museum in Monticello, Illinois. One of two ever built, both went to the Chicago & Illinois Midland in 1960. The company was purchased in 1996 by the Genesee & Wyoming holding company and operated until 2020 before being purchased by the museum. The other RS1325, #30, was donated to the Illinois Railway Museum in early 2023.
0:15 - Seen from Camp Creek, #31 leads a train specialized for a children's birthday party. The train included a dining car, combine, coach, open air car and finally a caboose.

0:49 - The same train backing towards the museum grounds, passing the Iron Horse Place crossing. A car is additionally honking at the train.
1:20 - Here is the train again at Stair Tower, this time for Throttle Time. This video is not taken by me, but instead by my friend Thomas Dyrek as I was doing the museum's throttle time event.
2:21 - Here is the train for the last time for the Pizza Train! People get to enjoy their own pizza from Domino's. Next pizza trains are August 3 and September 14, 2024.

I can remember both the C&IM unit and the old IC mule door cabooses running on third street in Pekin, on different trains, of course, but on the same track.
