HLCX 4210 & WAMX #4235 - Decatur & Eastern Illinois |
| Description: |
While visiting the Wabash Valley RR Museum, a pair of locos rolled past us on the way to a CSX yard north of the museum. Later, I found out that these were loaner locos for the Decatur & Easter RR, part of the larger Watco organization. I caught the pair from the viewing stand at the Wabash Valley RR Museum which is next to the former C&EI mainline, now a CSX property. |

| Description: |
The lead unit, HLCX 4210, is a loaner that Decatur & Eastern illinois uses for motive power. Originally built as SP 7242, it still wears the color scheme of its last railroad, Iowa, Chicago & Eastern, although it now belongs to the Helm organization and rented by the D&EI at the moment. |

I caught one last view of the pair heading up the former C&EI, thinking that was a nice catch but too brief. |

Just missed catching the engineers wave as he passed by the viewing platform at the Wabash Valley RR Museum. Always helps when my wife waves to engineers as they usually respond better than my waving! |
