the 15 hoppers at the front come from Kentland Indiana and go to our railyard in East Peoria. They have white rock on them. Neat I was looking for a video that had those cars on it.
@RENFEMikado I was looking for a video that had those 15 hopper cars youn see at the front. They have white rock on them and it comes from Kentland Indiana to our rail yard in East Peoria. Thanks for posting.
no problem: I see and hear TP&W every day here in Watseka. They've been shaking my house since it was built in the early 1880's LOL... the hopper cars come from Newton County Gravel east of Kentland. I think TP&W uses Newton County Gravel for all the ballast on their line.

Do you work for the TP&W?

They usually run 2-3 trains a day. 1 to Indiana, 1 back to Peoria and then 1 eastbound or westbound.

thats a pretty rare chance to see a train on that track, i bet we get one train in 7 months on that thing. I live in watseka thats how i know

Its gonna be more than one train in 7 months... more like one train every couple days.. thats TP&W's Main East Line

no im pretty sure that trains rarely go through that track, we usually only get trains on the north-to-south track on 24.

and if you would like, please camp out near the rail, and you can see for yourself that it is in fact rare that a train is on that track.

Let me ask you this... are the track rails shinney as in silver on top of the rail.. or are they rusted on top most of the time?
