How about someone posting the Illinois Central in the song City of New Orleans, my favorite train song?

I like a good Arlo story

Good Morning you Midwest fans. Up today is a very old Atlas O DT&I  Boxcar. Enjoy your week.

I'll continue the DT&I theme.

Best I have for today, been a little busy with the CEO. Hope you enjoy!

Great pics guys thanks for sharing

Good Happy Monday. Ok what’s there’s to be Happy about Monday? Midwest Monday. Here’s a old Atlas O Illinois Central being unloaded at the CES Warehouse. Have a great day

In the spirit of Emery Gulash - I attempt to capture a long over-powered Penn Central autoparts freight somewhere in the Midwest on a Monday!

Happy Monday hope everyone had  a great weekend. Today we have a old Mopac Eagle Merchandise  Weaver Boxcar.

What you might have seen at Lenox Tower in East St. Louis in 1995

Just received a couple of items that work with Midwest Monday.  A undecorated FA2 from the last MTH house cleaning auction that will be repainted Penn Central #1313.  MTH Soo Line 50' SD and Lionel Illinois Central 60' SD.

Well I was looking around and found this in the corner!

That works Mike. You can also post different scenes  also or if you have any collectibles that will work too

Matt reload your pics if you can

Lenox Tower is physically located in Mitchell, Illinois but it closed in 2018. Apparently there is still a lot of traffic there where NS, CSX, BNSF, and UP converge on the northeast side of St. Louis.

Long time ago, it was Southern Pacific, Wabash, Burlington Northern, and other predecessors of the current roads. Used to Amtrak went thru with a train from Chicago to St. Louis.

Reloaded them. Got called away when posting and I don't think they uploaded right.
