This is eastbound BNSF M TULGAL (Tulsa, OK to Galesburg, IL) heading westward on BNSF's Hannibal Sub on 1-8-2006. This is an interesting area, as the track heads west, but the trains going that way, like this one, are eastbounds. Former CB&Q lines still operate as east/west radiating from Chicago. This train is passing an area where once a line of four armed poles stood. Back in 1998 another collector and I secured permission to get all the insulators from this spot 5 miles westward. We obtained many CREBs, D-510s, CD 147s, a few oddballs, CD 151s, and Star Beehives. Sadly, it is all gone now. http://n691lf.rrpicturearchives.net |
