Citizens of Joliet Rejoice!

Train service has returned to Joliet as track crews completed laying rail from East Stockdale to the west switch at Joliet, IL.  A new grain elevator has also been added between the two towns.

Sorry for the mess on the benchwork.  I haven't had a chance to clean up lately (too busy laying track).
