The conductor of train BUSW, “The Peoria Rocket,” sweeps the north switch at the Limit Yard on the edge of Peoria, Ill., as the crew, southbound on Subdivision 2 of the Iowa Interstate, prepares to interchange an empty Cedar Rapids, Iowa, coal train with the Tazewell & Peoria Railroad on Dec. 13, 2010.
