At first, I was confused by the skinnypiers in the middle and the fat piers on the edges.

But these photos confirmed that the skinny piers are parallel to the NKP tracks while the fat piers are square with the TP&W tracks so that they can be smaller.
Noah Haggerty posted four photos with the comment: "An eastbound Toledo, Peoria & Western mixed freight led by three different EMD locomotives cross over the N&W at Farmdale Bridge around late 1979. On the rear of the train, SW1500 #305 is giving the train a push up Washington Hill. John & Roger Kujawa Photo, Thomas Dyrek Collection."
David Jordan: The single TP&W unit makes me wonder if this was the Watseka trip one week after the LaHarpe/Keokuk move? I saw both back then.

| Mark Zook commented on Noah's post I took this photo, however, it was back when I lived in East Peoria prior to moving to Florida. I believe it was around 1976 or 1977. Noah Haggerty: Mark Zook Sweet photo! Exact dates escape me, 765 was first on the TP&W in May of 1980. |

The NKP route was the western part of the Lake Erie & Western.
