GECX 4562
Title:  GECX 4562
Description:  Day 4 was show day! Even though the rails were quite busy before the show started at 10, the line to get into the show gets long in a hurry so we wanted to stake a spot before we would be waiting back in the parking lot to get in. The show was really nice as always, however, I was a little disappointed in the lack of diecast cars this year. I picked up a DVD while dad picked up several HO Scale train cars. After the show we went and checked out the display and museum downtown. BNSF appears to be taking a lot of pride in their display this year. BNSF 4562s lease had recently ended and was returned back to GE, but on lease to BNSF. I understand they dont want to have to pull one of their road units OOS but cmon now.

GECX 4562
Title:  GECX 4562
Description:  The marigolds in the flower patch were the same color as the unit, so I decided to get a little artsy.

BN 54
Title:  BN 54
Description:  Despite being off the official roster, BN 54 still earns its keep in the Galesburg Yard. BNSF has quite a few of these yard slugs. Always thought they had an interesting look to them.

BNSF 6810
Title:  BNSF 6810
Description:  A westbound Q trains rear DPU decided to quit functioning on them in Fort Madison, which ended up stopping everything else until after the sun had set. After crossing the river into Illinois, we noticed that Z-WSPLAC8-24 had been lit up to come west, so we quick stopped at the curve at Niota to get what we could of the train. Obviously nothing great, but documented.

BNSF 4712
Title:  BNSF 4712
Description:  A Fakebonnet trails 2nd on the Z train. Another really good day of railfanning. The only real slip up was the KCS leader outside of Smithshire. Looking back we should have stayed back at Ponemah, but it happens. Another really great show this year as well. The only thing I was disappointed with was there was a lack of Hot Wheel cars this year. I ended up picking up a DVD about the Kansas City area while dad bought several HO Scale freight cars. Since dad has a new job at the Seminary in Fort Wayne, we unfortunately had to cut the trip a day short, so the following day would be the final day trackside for the 2023 Galesburg Trip. Its been a really fun one so far, looking forward to what tomorrow brings!
