Union Pacific CDEBM 3-1-26
The crew was aboard this train, parked on the double track at Grove, from at least 1530 this afternoon. Radio chatter indicated the crew needed to grab a unit sitting on TZPR's Creve Coeur Team Track. That and river traffic delayed the train from crossing the river until about 1730 hours. It was clear on UP property by 1745. CAPTION: Union Pacific train CDEBM (Coal Empties, Decatur/Peoria IL to Belle Ayr Mine WY) is shown crossing the Tazewell & Peoria Railroad's Illinois River Bridge into Peoria, Illinois and then stopping briefly to enter home rails at Darst Street. UP 7519, UP 6658 and UP 7665 have 128 cars. - David P. Jordan
