With the announcement of the Illinois Railway Museum Nebraska Zephyr runnining on the BNSF mainline from Chicago to Galesburg in late September I have been doing some research on where to maybe get some shots of the Zephyr.
I understand that the BNSF is replacing the old CB&Q signals with LED signals on the line. However I believe that there still might be some old CBQ signals left.
I heard there might be some still standing between Wataga and Galesburg. I also was told of some near the Keokuk Junction in Bushnell ??
I think it would be neat to get a shot of the Zephyr with the old CBQ signals in the shot. If anyone can help with maybe some better locations or even mileposts that would be great !!
Thanks,
