Thanks for all that information Ed.
I knew most of it, but you still cant beat a Mark One eyeball, with or without camera, checking things out on the ground.
I am surprised that those wheeled conveyors where used for crushed rock, especially given the size of some of those piles of crush that I have seen in photos. I know they list a separate Mid-Illinois Concrete Dump Pit as a location and I just assumed that a heavy industrial type conveyor belt system was in place to feed through to the large unit within Mid-Ill. Concrete.
I think that I may also have read that one unit [possibly EFRR 2716] is fitted for Remote Control Operation.
I suspect that both EFRR 2716 and IW 7570 are being housed inside TQW for safety and security particularly in winter.
Why build an Engine shed when you can just as easily park inside a drive thru warehouse?
