BNSF M-PEIGAL 10-30-23

Earlier this afternoon, I picked up radio chatter confirming the BNSF local was in the Tazewell & Peoria Railroad's East Peoria Yard. I drove the Cedar Street Extension hoping to see it, but could not confirm that it was still there. 

After spending some time at the downtown library, I had just made a left onto the Cedar Street Bridge and saw the outbound in the distance, crawling onto home rails. Naturally, I turned around and got ahead of it just south of Harmon Highway. 

Although the sun had already set, I managed to shoot video with my phone. 

CAPTION: BNSF Railway train M-PEIGAL (Manifest, Peoria IL to Galesburg IL) rolls out of Peoria, Illinois early evening Monday, October 30, 2023. BNSF 3869 and BNSF 5900 have 30 cars.
