Frisco 1630 pulls a 135 car Coal Train!

On May 29,2016, Frisco 2-10-0 "Decapod" 1630 was used to remove a coal train from the Illinois Railroad Museum's main line. The coal train was stored at the museum over the winter but with the museum beginning to run trains again the cars needed to be moved. Two more coal trains were stored on the main line and were removed earlier in the spring. The museum used several of their diesels for power on the earlier movements but Frisco 1630 was selected to pull the final cut out of the museum. We first see 1630 arriving at Johnson Siding to pick up the cut. Then we see the locomotive pulling hard as it heads west. We see the train one last time at East Union where the 1630 would cut off and a diesel would arrange the cars to be handed over to the Union Pacific.
