I spent a good part of the day on the BNSF Chillicothe sub near Wenona, IL and then a short bit in Toluca, IL.

Highlights include an Eastbound z-train with 3 KCS engines/1 CP engine, and Eastbound stack train led by a SD70ACe, and UP ZCIG4 led by a SD70AH. Enjoy and don't forget to comment and subscribe!!!!
