The coal trains to IEI Barge Terminal at East Dubuque, IL, have been running for a long time on the CCP/IC/CN. The contract ran out in 2015, and the train are no more on the CN. Back in 1999 the BNSF run thru power came in different sizes and types. Here an SD45-2 helps out 2 MAC's as they dip thru the hogback outside of Raymond as they make the last leg of the trip to East Dubuque. I dig the old steel BN coal cars.
