Southern 401 at Monticello, IL 04/16/2011

I went to Monticello for an NRHS excusion with the Southern 401. Of course the weather did not cooperate, but I managed to shoot some decent footage anyway. We start by looking her over on the morning of the 16ths she's being readied for today's trips. A little later we see the 401 back away from the engine house to the depot. Then catch a photo runby.
Listen carefully and you will hear an NS freight going through town in the background as the 401 backs up. We then ride the open car to enjoy some sights and sounds as the 401 completes it's trip.

I'm just curious: What does the smell of burning vegetable oil smell like from a locomotive? Chicken nuggets?? lol

The was the Blackhawk special from Saturday morning. I saw myself filming from the cab of the locomotive a couple of times. Nice; despite me being in FRONT of a camera for a few frames!
