The ROCK 3.0: Chicago & Illinois Midland Photos

I was digging through some old photos tonight and found these of the Chicago & Illinois Midland in Springfield, IL.  I vaguely remember taking these.  They are dated July 31st, 2005.  I assume my wife and I were exploring around in Springfield.  Funny, how I came across these now that I'm interested in the C&IM.

I'm assuming this is the large former Pillsbury Plant in Springfield, IL.

In other news, I'm working on cleaning and sorting a bunch of stuff in the layout room.  I have way too many cars.  Time to consolidate some.  

I have a few TP&W custom paint projects outsourced and waiting for return.  I'm also waiting on some custom Peoria & Eastern and Peru & Pekin Union Railway decals to come in to work on a few other projects.
