Ride on TZPR-IMRR Peoria-Havana Pass. Special - Oct. 4, 2012

After the train leaves town, this video has many industrial scenes that I'll never be able to capture because they are from the perspective of railroad property. David Jordan posted this link on Facebook with the explanation:

I'm in Newark, New Jersey for the annual Lexington Group of Transportation History meeting. Three years ago, Lexingtonians met in Peoria. We had two inspection trips using an Iowa Interstate GP38-2, two ex-Montreal commuter coaches and business cars ABRAHAM LINCOLN and THE HAWKEYE.

The first trip took place October 4, 2012 with IAIS 707 manned by a Tazewell & Peoria RR crew from State Street in Peoria to Wesley Jct. from there to Havana and back, an Illinois & Midland crew ran the train. We wyed at Quiver Yard in Havana. A TZPR crew took the train from Wesley Jct. back to Peoria. Video lasts 13:33.
