The famous F units of the KJRY railroad in west central Illinois. Today's train is the "Santa train".

The 2 F units are pulling a caboose with Santa Claus in it and made 5 stops along the way to allow children to visit him on board the train. On occasion, children were also allowed to board the engine and honk the extremely loud horn.

2 videos I got of this train are posted in the crossing videos section.

CP's local from Portage gets ready to pick up its cars for the return trip at the yard in Madison. It's the only non-WSOR train you will ever see in that city. Two fallen flags are represented by this power. CP has yet to repaint Soo Line 4451, and ex-Milwaukee Road 2064 has not been repainted by either railroad!

I was doing this in a rush, so I was just looking for the pictures themselves, and not links. That's why I missed it the first time.
