AMTK 341 |
| Description: |
A very highly anticipated day had arrived, as today was the day that marked first run of the Union Pacifics "Big Boy" first run down the Villa Grove Subdivision to Saint Louis. With the Villa Grove Subdivision being the closest the locomotive would come to the state of Indiana, and being a fairly easy day trip, I met up with a friend and we made the trek out to Illinois along with the thousands of others who would be doing the same thing today. We started our day early to cram in all the other train action we could before the big arrival. Amtraks Cardinal was getting a warrant north out of Lafayette when we passed through Monticello, so we found a nice field shot south of Reynolds to document the train heading north on the ex-Monon as the sun began to rise. One of the newer long distance Chargers leads todays AMTK 51, the first I have ever caught leading a train. |

CN 2794 |
| Description: |
With the Big Boys arrival into Watseka not being until 5 PM, we decided to begin our day in Illinois on the CN Chicago Subdivision. We were hoping for a deathstar leader on the daily local to Otto and back, but no such luck, as a SD70M-2 was assigned to that job that day. However, we did see a headlight for a road train when we crossed the tracks at north Gilman, so we raced north to Danforth and grabbed CN M335 coming by the elevator and depot with an ex-CITIRAIL GEVO on the head end. The first time either of us had shot one of these leading since CN acquired them. This day was starting out pretty well. |

UP 582 |
| Description: |
With no IC power on the local, we decided to head back to the UP/CSX and hang around the Joint Line until the Big Boy showed. UPs LSB54 local was working Watseka when we were in Gilman, so we decided to head back there to grab it. However, before we got into town, they were ready to continue north to Saint Anne. They blasted north while we struggled to stay out ahead of them. We finally were able to get out ahead of them around Papineau, and we shot them across a field just south of Saint Anne. I actually had shot the local here last year with very similar power. But, whats wrong with doing the same thing twice? |

UP 7066 |
| Description: |
We decided we were going to shoot the local going back south again, so we chose Martinton as our set-up location. I had always wanted to frame a southbound train under the old "Martinton" sign dating back from the MoPac days. And today was my day, just not with LSB54, rather with a short MPRNL with an AC4400CW leader that has so far avoided the rebuild program. |

CSX 3109 |
| Description: |
Shortly after heading north was CSX I128, running on an unusual morning schedule. I would assume this was to get the priority traffic out ahead and as close to Chicago before the Big Boys trip south, but Im not certain. I sure do love Martintons "saurcer" water tower. I still wonder why they built it that way. |

KBS 705 |
| Description: |
While eating, we heard a TPW crew call clear downtown Sheldon twice. Thinking the train might be a westbound working the yard, we moved west to try to find them. However, when we approached Webster Tower west of Sheldon, we found the KBS heading south on the ex-MILW to Danville. We intercepted them at CR 1600N north of the tiny community of Darrow, where the train would be spotting cars at the large grain elevator there. |

After the KBS, it was getting close to Big Boy time, so it was time to go stake out our location. We decided on Papineau to have a backdrop, and with my friend still having his tent on the bed of his pickup truck, we would be able to get plenty of elevation over the fence that lines the tracks there. When we arrived in Papineau, other people had already set up shop in other locations. CSX M500 was first to greet us in town with a duo of AC4400CWs. |
