After the previous chase of the Indiana Rail Road's Marathon local being quite bad. I set out a mission to achieve a more successful railroad chase. So I set up at Palestine Airport Road where there was still good sunlight and set my settings how i wanted them. After catching them there I went just East of Robinson, IL where they descend a grade and go through a curve. Photos taken at Palestine, IL and Robinson, IL. -photo taken on February 22nd 2024.
