With Columbus Day being an “Official Holiday” in Illinois, celebration was in order. Officials of the Kaskaskia Valley Railway took a ride on the new foreign road to the south, “The Bluestone Southern” owned and operated by Andy (AndyC) and Jane Clarke. The Presidential Train was made ready at the town of Bluestone.
As the KVRwy president takes her train out on the line keep your eye on the blue tarp in the back ground, it really shows the vastness of this railroad.
The “Inspection Special” runs over the newest trackage admiring the retaining walls and erosion control.
