Galesburg Railroad Days Vol. 3
Author: Matthew Schimmel
This album will cover my 3rd day (Sunday) and Monday morning (for the brief time we stuck around) before we headed home. Photos in this album will be from the Chillicothe Sub. and the yard. I managed to catch all the cool power for the day that ran through the area except for a UP auto train with a KCS Gevo leader.
