BNSF 7560
Title:  BNSF 7560
Description:  As all trips do, Day 5 was the final day of our trip. We decided to follow the Mendota Sub back since things were looking busier on the Mendota Sub than the Transcon. To start the day, H-BRCGAL-24 sits tied down about 2 miles east of CP Bishop outside of Galesburg to start the day.

High and Wide
Title:  High and Wide
Description:  Some High and Wide equipment trailed on some suppressed flats behind the power. We believe these are parts for a large crane.

BNSF 8005
Title:  BNSF 8005
Description:  Things began to bottleneck at Galva. The ethanol train we saw at Wataga was bound for the ethanol plant here, and other trains that had previously been tied down had new crews and were ready to go. However, the GALNS from earlier along with Amtrak made it so there was no route into Galesburg. Once the ethanol train was in the plant, that allowed the B-EMPCHC7-23 a light to continue east. The set off siding here is still guarded by a CBQ dwarf. This really made up for not seeing the ATSF dwarf earlier in the trip.

Title:  BNSF 7330, BNSF 6564, and BNSF 7776
Description:  We had to backtrack to Meriden to grab the next eastbound, as it terminated at the grain elevator west of town. By the time we got down there it was already going around the loop, but we did find a spot to quick grab some roster shots of the engines.

IAIS 515
Title:  IAIS 515
Description:  After the grain trains, things finally began to die down on the Mendota Sub, and we knew we wouldnt have anything more before it got too dark. We decided to head down to the Transcon to finish the day. When we got to Peru/La Salle, however, we heard IAIS CBBI key up CSX Dispatch to get a warrant to continue east toward Blue Island. We had already passed the exit we needed to get off at in order to chase it, so we got off at the next exit and turned around. When we went over the tracks the train was already passing underneath us, so we quick got on to I80 and drove far enough east to where we thought we were well out ahead of it. We ended up stopping in Ottawa, realizing that we got there well before the train. The sun ended up setting and a storm rolled in before the train showed up, which was only doing 10 MPH through town, but we got it with just enough light. What a way to end a trip! Despite being shorter than usual Galesburg trips, we came away with good buys at the show and a lot of great trains go to along with them! Another successful Galesburg trip with dad!
