Tazewell & Peoria RR Local, Iowa Interstate PEDAV and SIPE - Oct. 9, 2022

Today was a good one - mild weather and crisp, blue skies. 

Before the main course (Iowa Interstate), a Tazewell & Peoria Railroad local, probably a Yard/Lead Job, rolled across the river in early afternoon. TZPR 1521 has just four wire rod loads from Liberty Steel & Wire Co.



Iowa Interstate train PEDAV (Peoria IL to Davenport IA) was waiting for the TZPR local to clear. Once it did, PEDAV left Wesley, crossed the river and headed north, I shot video a numerous locations between East Peoria and Henry, Illinois. IAIS 152 has 104 potash empties for Canadian Pacific at Davenport. 

Locations are shown on the video. Last scene shows the whole train.



Later, I was able to catch Iowa Interstate manifest SIPE (Silvis IL to Peoria IL) at both Rome and Mossville, Illinois in late afternoon. IAIS 712 has NS 5249 (high hood, unit served with Des Moines-based switch rew) and twelve cars.
