A nice set to find in April 2007.

NS boxes get off the IC main and onto the Springfield line at Gilman. It was this arrangement that spelled the end of the old Wabash as a through route from Chicago to Decatur.

A CN SD40 and two ex-IC SD40-2s lead a southbound manifest through Gilman. Gotta love the old sytle-G signals.

A TPW job gets ready to head west away from the rising sun after switching the grain elevator on the west side of town. Note the TP&W written on the crossbuck post.
