When I was 7 me and dad always went to Evansville every other Saturday and would see this engine from 1994-1995 working at Poseyville. Dad only shot this engine 2 times. I think because I begged him and they always seemed to have the Cargill Yellow Hoppers.

Another old photo my dad took at Poseyville on are way to Evansville.

Taken by my Dad after a trip to the outlet mall. My Secound trip to Tuscola.
