Evening on the Wabash & Illinois Central - Featuring CN 1776 & NS 1800!

After we shot L585, we sought eyes on the former Wabash and Illinois Central systems across Central Illinois to relax for the remainder of the day. We came out with a daylight NS Bloomington District train, a 75I duo leading 407, one of the CN's new 250th Anniversary units leading 194, and NS 1800 leading! Shoutout to ‪@BNSFrailfan01‬ who we met at Ludlow for 194, was nice to meet you! Enjoy! 5-22-26 0:00 Train 1: SB NS 50R, NS Bloomington District, C.P.
