NKP Excursion On TPW

May 1980

Some of these are available in higher resolution in the Desktop Pictures section

 

In the spring of 1980 the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society ran several excursions on the TP&W. These included freights, yard work and at least this one passenger excursion through Bushnell.

These pictures are a few of many taken where both BNSF and TP&W pass under Illinois 41 a couple of miles south of Bushnell. The train stopped here and let people off for pictures, backed up and made a pass.

The next to the last two pictures were taken in Bushnell and the final was from Illinois 9 just west of town.
