Viewing Album:  Decatur, Illinois September 19-21, 2014
 
By:Matthew Schimmel
Dates:9/19/2014 - 9/19/2014
Album Info:This album will cover my journey to Decatur, Illinois for the weekend of the 19th - 21st of September. It is always a good time filled with some different trains and great catches. I stopped in Litchfield, Illinois for a morning photo of the old GP10 owned by the Respondek Rail Corp. and then continued my journey to Decatur after that.
