Iowa Interstate PESI-type Train 3-11-25

I only saw this afternoon's northbound Iowa Interstate train because I heard radio chatter on the Tazewell & Peoria Railroad's road channel.
 
A few notes on today's consist:
 
(1) The ADMX tank car on the head end was empty and had no haz-mat placards, so it may be in soybean oil service. I would guess it came from Decatur on CN and is enroute to another ADM plant, but that's just speculation. 
 
(2) The 21 covered hoppers of mixed ADM/leasing company markings are probably the same I saw last evening behind TZPR 1351 waiting for BNSF's M-PEIGAL to get out of its way.
 
(3) Two IAIS-marked covered hoppers were loaded, possibly with urea or phosphate fertilizer at either Mosaic Crop Nutrition LLC's facility south of Bartonville or the TP&W-served Growmark terminal at Mapleton. 
 
(4) The tank car on the rear was loaded, and placarded for industrial alcohol (UN 1170).


CAPTION: Iowa Interstate Railroad Ltd. BUSW (Bureau Switcher) ran manifest SIPE (Silvis IL to Peoria IL) traffic down the Peoria Subdivision on Tuesday morning and apparently flipped back north, or with a re-crew, at East Peoria handling PESI-type traffic. Train is shown at Peoria Heights and San Koty, Illinois late-afternoon, March 11, 2025. IAIS 153 has 25 cars.

Union Pacific's LPD01 Derails Due to Vandals 11-18-24!

Image
Union Pacific's LPD01 job leaves and departs Adams Street Yard in Peoria on July 1, 2024.   I hope the judge makes an example of these two clowns!   Union Pacific's LPD01 job was either going to or returning from Collier Yard to work the Keokuk Junction Railway and Toledo, Peoria & Western Railway interchanges. Damage to the locomotive explains why Adams Street Yard and the adjacent Low Line are still full of cars.    Peoria County Sheriff's Office Facebook Page:    Train Derailment Arrests Peoria County Incident #24-7190   (Peoria County, IL) - On Monday, November 18th, 2024, at approximately 3:00 pm, Peoria County Sheriff's Deputies were notified by the Bartonville Police Department of an incident where BPD officers had two males detained for derailing a train near the train crossing on Sanitation Rd (100 block) just outside of Bartonville.
