The San Francisco Zephyr is nearing the depot for it's Galesburg stop led by a former CB&Q engine.

CNW equipment on an Amtrak train waits at Galesburg by the old Q depot. The steamer still waits some 35+ years later. This is the Quincy Zephyr eastbound to Chicago.

As an empty coal train from Peoria holds at Thirwell to wait for a new crew to arrive, an ethanol train sneaks up beside to get a top off of fuel at Galesburg, IL. Railroad: BNSF Railway

An unit corn syrup train! We had a great vacation staying at Ron & Rita Hatch's B&B. Wish it was still there. Thanks for a great time folks.

BNSF 1916 avoids the heavy weather that passed Galesburg Yard earlier this morning.

It is hard for me to believe this was shot nearly 20 years ago. ATSF 509 is really highballing along as it leads 4 more B40's on the QLANY near Galesburg.

A Galesburg yard job is see here switching a local industry on the west side of town (right on the west side of the Academy Plant)

There's often plenty of color to be found around Galesburg yard.

"8134, that'll do." The conductor sends out a signal to the engineer of one of the recently, reactivated SD60M's on the BNSF system, while other units carry on, in the Galesburg Yard.

A trip to Galesburg isn't complete, without stopping at the yard!

Perhaps on its maiden voyage, this brand new ES44C4 leads a pair of CSX GE's west through Galesburg.

SD39 1924 switches out a hi-wide load on the east end of the Galesburg classification bowl.

Burlington's big O-5B 4-8-4 5632 is serviced at Galesburg enroute from Lincoln, NE to Chicago. I rode the NEBRASKA ZEPHYR from Chicago to intercept the excursion during daylight.

Early in the morning, the yard is busy: an SD40-2 switches cars, a carman checks out couplers and air hoses, and a set of EMDs tops the hump. In the distance are lines of LUGO locomotives.
