It appears more and more likely okay 100 percent certain that the Scrapyard Hitchcock will start to load cars out and ship via rail. A friend  told me a car was spotted and probably had headed west so I went to see if there was anything. Sure enough to my delight there was and the most beautiful sight I have seen in Canton in a while. So how often  or how much they load I have no idea yet nor do I know what days. This is one of those things to watch as it moves along and if i catch and film anything will post and update at a later date. I couldn't be more happier about this. Keokuk Junction Railway gets another customer, the scrapyard can ship via rail whatever and  maybe the trains will stick around Canton a little longer which is a plus for me. I'm greatful for someone mentioning this to me due to having a cold I haven't been out in a day or so to  try to get rid of a cough. It's  better than it was still wish it and the sore throat w...

Once again took a trip to Galesburg a city I know will pay off rail activity wise unlike Peoria or even Keokuk where it can be dead on somedays and active others and not a sure thing. I'm sort of getting  a major burn out on Peoria since nothing ever real special runs through there other than catch CN or some TZPR action.  IAIS is a lost cause to try to nail much like TP&W. Both lines unless you have a heads up chances aren't good you'll catch anything at all.  The joy of living in this part of the  state. They should just nickname our area Tumbleweed rail lines since you have better odds of seeing a tumbleweed blow by than a train but I have bad  luck & timing so sort of need to be somewhat snarky just to ease my saltiness. Anyways Galesburg is always a sure bet on something. Videos will take days to upload since I have AT&T and work around everyone else's schedule since my uploading will slow the internet down for the entire household. ...
