With the addition of Kettle Falls International GP38-3 2256 and Illinois Railway GP35R 3500, it appears that the Illinois Railnet's B23-7 reign of ''burble'' may be over on the Mt. Morris (Illinois) branch. Illinois Railway, an Omnitrax Inc. family railroad has assigned the two units to the job that works out of Oregon, Illinois, servicing two sand plants along with the printing company in Mt. Morris, Illinois. The Mt. Morris Job is shown Northbound just south of Mt. Morris on Monday afternoon, May 3, 2010 with two cars of paper for the plant. Three B23-7's, 2-3-4, are stored in the BNSF yards in Oregon.
