Just found your channel, or, rather, your channel found me! I grew up in Chenoa, so am well acquainted with the GM&O/ICG! Also worked for the TP&W right out of high school! I live in Indiana, now! I worked for the original TP&W for about seven years. As a child, living right along the TP&W, I was about three blocks from the depot/ diamond where TP&W crossed the GM&O/ICG. I would jump on my bike or go tearing down to the depot at the sound of a train. I remember the CWEX coal trains, RS2’s, the start of Amtrak when the E units powered them, the F unit powered through trains. ICG brought ex-GM&O GP38 powered locals for a while, before being replaced by their numerous Geep rebuilds. I never saw CWEX trains powered by other than ex-GM&O SD40’s. Enjoyed your video! Will try to find more of them!

Also, as a P.S., I lived in Bloomington for a while, so experienced ‘90’s NS, the last days of the CR locals to Peoria, and the SP!
