Remarks & Notes

UP's Peoria Local (L-PD01) pulls onto the TZPR main and then will shove it's train the 3/4 of a mile down to Collier Yard. There are plenty of boxcars up from bound for KJRY interchange. Of historical interest are the now defunct CB&Q main line in Peoria (to the right in the photo) and remnants of the telegraph pole line which ran alongside the tracks.
