These were shot in the vicinity of Peoria or perhaps to the north in 1976.

Note the lashup in the first slide. I think they show up in another shot.

Thanks for the pics! I routinely saw consists like that when I was a kid, and had relatives in the Peoria area as well. One of my very earliest memories is being aboard the Peoria Rocket on a trip to visit them.
