The Illinois Central Lives - Three IC Leaders!

The day started out at 0630 after my girlfriend arrived at the house. From then on, we went to Hayes where we caught the A408 with IC 1017 in the lead, our first IC of the day. After following it to Humboldt, we turned around and headed north to Champaign. Once at Champaign, the A407 with the IC 1019 was getting ready to leave. As it is pulling down the yard tracks, a northbound G899 with IC 6250 arrives next to him. Today was a fantastic day full of great trains and seeing Champaign Yard looking like it would've in the IC days is quite nice.
