The MoPac at Tuscola
To follow up on the previous two posts—another couple of train movements in Tuscola, Illinois, taken the same day.
Here we see both southbound and northbound trains, taken some time apart. The trains are on the former C&EI and are approaching the crossing with the Illinois Central and the B&O at TY Tower. The Union Pacific would get this line just five years later.

Tuscola Trio
These three images were made in Tuscola, Illinois. This is where the Illinois Central, the Missouri Pacific (former C&EI), and the B&O all converged on a single spot to form a triple crossing.
First, an Illinois Central local, with 8010 on point, moves southward by the ancient tower (controlled by the IC, the oldest road here). Next we see a Chicago-bound MoPac train with 3214 leading the way. And lastly we have B&O GP30 6963 on the point of a westbound freight rattling over the complicated diamond.
All three of these images were made in a relatively short time on September 25th 1976. Photographs by Richard Koenig.
Southbound at TY
A southbound freight on the Illinois Central mainline rolls through Tuscola, Illinois. The IC crossed both the B&O and MoPac (C&EI) at this spot; the tower is just behind the photographer.

Near Belle Meade on the L&N
This is a run-through Missouri Pacific train on the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, most likely southwest of that second namesake city in the Belle Meade area. I figure (with some help from learned people in a FB L&N group) this train is moving away from Nashville and is headed for Memphis.

Along the Mississippi, Part One
These two images, from southwest Illinois, were made on the Missouri Pacific Railroad—along side the Mississippi River. A pair of Southern Pacific EMD SD45s are dragging a train southward; I believe it will cross the great river at Thebes, though this was never my turf. This particular spot is just northwest of Chester by a few miles.
