Have been working on the Aurora Sub out of Savanna, IL the last 2 weeks. Have been working 230 am to 930 am so not able to get many pics. The old derailment and engine pics were in a local grocery store in Savanna, there were no captions or info on them.

About 10 minutes after the train with former Alaska power went through, the double stack showed up.

Finished work in the Savanna area and traveled over to Dubuque to start work Wednesday morning. I got some pics on the way; had to use my IPhone camera so I will apologize in advance.
