In the Peoria area, Keokuk Junction has (or had) been running F units on the former TP&W west of Peoria. TP&W still has a caboose on the local to Morton, IL due to a long back up move required. Does anyone know what days of the week and/or time of the day the F units and/or the caboose are likely to be run?
The Fs typically work out of the Peoria end of the railroad.
You can generally find the train running west of Peoria to Good Hope and back on Monday/Wednesday/Friday, although light weeks can make it Tuesday/Thursday.
The train normally is around Good Hope about 3 to 4pm. It meets the train from Keokuk, swaps cars, and then returns eastward.
