My dad used to drive the tank at the Army center when i was younger. They would allow him to drive it in the parades. I still have a pic of him in it. Making him a cake of THAT tank for his birthday in sept.

they probably came off a NTWGAL sincetheres no NTWMAD so they take them to Galesburg on the NTWGAL and put them on the H-GALMAD

The train is shown coming off the Quincy Main, so you may be correct, but lately, I’ve noticed those MRS and SFLC cars in the yard itself.

the one with the MRS cars might be the H-MADNTW Madison, IL to Northtown (but I could be wrong) the one with the NS’s was the H-NTWGAL
