Iowa Interstate SIPE 7-10-25

Due to working a lot of overtime last month, I missed some local action, including some Iowa Interstate trains. My last encounter was on May 24 when I saw both SIPE and PESI trains. 
 
Today's SIPE was made up of mostly ADM grain products (DDGS, or "mash") out of Cedar Rapids, but also an empty industrial alcohol tank car and three empty STSX corn syrup tank cars, which are owned by Primient (formerly Tate & Lyle Americas, nee A. E. Staley Mfg. Co.). I can only guess they were used by ADM out of Cedar Rapids and may now be returning to their owner at Decatur, Illinois.


CAPTION: Iowa Interstate Railroad Ltd. manifest SIPE (Silvis IL to Peoria IL) rolls by Mossville, Illinois early evening Thursday, July 10, 2025. Shortly, the train is shown at San Koty, a few miles from entering Tazewell & Peoria Railroad property. IAIS 151 and IAIS 716 have 55 cars.

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.
