Westbound hopper chases down Amtrak as they head west across the Ottumwa Sub. With alot of ABS territory on this Sub the dispatcher has to hold trains in the CTC sections to give Amtrak some room to run. This was the case as this hopper sat at Burlington to let Amtrak around them. This hopper was unloaded at Pekin, IL, and bound back to North Antelope Mine for another load of Wymoing's finest. Lots of old MAC's were seen, mainly trailing, this trip, as seen here. Good to see the old girls back out and putting on miles!
