In the past few months, some friends of mine have introduced me to the idea of going down to central Illinois to railfan the predominant railroads in that region. After only 1 round, it became a staple trip that would repeated almost every month before I would make my leave to Pennsylvania (and it's heavily implied there will be more when I get back ;) ). With too many railroads doing too many cool things to generalize in writing, I'll go ahead and just let the video do the talking. Enjoy my clips from our trips to central Illinois!

Thanks for watching!
Great catches. I usually don't have good luck out that way but then again I normally just show up without a plan.
Excellent video. Central IL really is a great area to railfan.
One of your best videos, possible the best for capturing some great IC rolling stock, such as the Centralia caboose in CN colors, and at 44.44 the ex ICG hopper with CC reporting marks!
Great work on the Bloomington District shots. Especially 403 at Lodge.
Pretty cool trains. Keep doing what you do the best. LJL
Will you go to the reading and northern railroad and new hope & Ivyland railroad one day?.
I think the deathstars have a lot of P5s!
Is it just me or do u get the luckiest locomotive power
Great video :)
New friend and new subs from indonesian railways... greetings
That is.
I’m in P5 heaven!
No.1 2020 No.2 2021.
So get doubled into 2 separate sections.
2 cause the USA trouble a great deal of flamey trouble.
