Rail Park |
| Description: |
Aerial photo of the EFRR served Rail Park near time of completion of the Krispy Kreme Manufacture and Distribution Plant, so the date is approximately April 2002, hence the reason I chose April Fool's Day as the date. The buildings within the yellow area denoting the Rail Park are from the right; TQW warehouse with run through track door visible, Bunge then later Hodgson Mill, pre expansion which will double it in size. Centre of the area is occupied by the Krispy Kreme plant with the rail and truck unloading building being the chocolate walled building on the left. You can just make out the sweep of the tracks back from the shed to the EFRR Main which is over to the right under the angled yellow line and parallel to the CSXT/CN Interchange track and siding. At some point in the future EFRR will install a switch behind K.K leading to two storage tracks running down parallel with Pike Avenue. |

IW 7570 back in its unloved Conrail days |
| Description: |
This photo of 7570 is from another contributor to this site, but you never see it unless you check out the frame number search or CR 7570 search. I am not claiming ownership of this photo in any way I just wanted to include it so that anyone viewing my album [including myself] can easily see just how much care and attention is lavished upon IW 7570 now that it is working for the EFRR. |

Daily Interchanges with CSX and CN |
| Description: |
EFRR 2716 in Phase 1 [Two Tone Red with parabolic curve to nose stripes] paint with IW 7570 in its original IW paint job [Phase 2 will be EFRR inspired] and previously unknown CN Loco #5629, posed outside TQW for website publicity photo. I had often looked at this photo and wondered where the location was and then tonight I realised the tell tale was the corner of the industrial building which has to be TQW warehouse. The track in the foreground of the photo are the tail end of the Hodgson Mill siding. The track with the CN loco on it leads straight in to and through the TQW warehouse. The track with EFRR 2716 and IW 7570 on it is the passing track which runs around the outside of TQW and prevents EFRR having a loading guage restriction point by only running through TQW. I am always on the lookout for more photos of the EFRR so if you live nearby or can visit then please contact EFRR to let them know your coming to arrange a permission slip/liability waiver and please contact me because I would appreciate copies of any photos. Update 11 September 2009. I just received a CD of photos and other information on the EFRR from a contact at Agracel and it shows similar photos to this one from what appears to have been a EFRR Open Day and so I was able to zoom in and find out the number of CN 5629 which must have been loaned to EFRR for the PR event. |

2716 |
| Description: |
I found this photo of EFRR 2716 on another website and the interesting thing is that it almost exactly matches another photo I found on a different website. MMMM I wonder what happened there. Anyway it is a great shot of EFRR 2716 in what I am describing as its Phase 2 paint job, whereby the stripes near the nose have been changed to curves from the previous parabolic shapes and Hi Viz safety stripes have been added to the frame sill to comply with Federal Regulations. I will have to find out when that came in to effect. |

EFRR 2716 with IW 7570 outside TQW warehouse |
| Description: |
I found this photo on the same website I found the duplicate of EFRR 2716 in this Phase 2 paint job. Here we see EFRR 2716 in its current Phase 2 paint job while IW 7570 is in its original IW Phase 1 paint job so we have an interesting transition period shown here. In the future IW 7570 will be given a EFRR inspired paint job [Phase 2 Minus] and then sometime in the two months afterwards it will finally be lettered for Illinois Western again, so completing its Phase 2 paint job to match EFRR 2716. |

EFRR 2716 at Start Up |
| Description: |
I found this photo on the same website I found the duplicate of EFRR 2716 in its Phase 2 paint job. Here we see EFRR 2716 in its original Phase 1 EFRR paint job where the stripes form a parabolic curve downwards. Note the white caps to the twin exhaust stacks. Of Major interest is the track under #2716 which is that new that it hasnt been fully ballasted. |

EFRR 2716 Dedication Ceremony |
| Description: |
EFRR 2716 at EFRR Dedecation Ceremony 1999. I found this photo yesterday while researching the web for more information and photos of the now former Krispy Kreme manufacturing and distribution plant located on the EFRR at Effingham. It was contained in an article about the opening of the plant at Siteselection.com and was obviously used by the railroad as an early publicity photo. There is I believe an actual Krispy Kreme Opening Dedication photo as well showing #2716 with a banner on the side of the loco. I have only managed to capture a thumbnail of the photo. I also had my first Krispy Kreme donuts this week, bought from a BP servo in Sth Melbourne. $8.00 for 4 donuts, 2 choc and 2 original. Rip off and bloody tite arse with the choc coating, it was like it was painted on. As per usual if you live near or are visiting Effingham and you can take some photos of the EFRR and the buildings then please contact me. I would really like some photos of the rail side views of the various EFRR customers. Its not easy trying to research and model this railroad from Australia. |

EFRR 2716 Two Tone Red with Hi-Viz Yellow |
| Description: |
EFRR 2716. Note 2716 is wearing the two tone red scheme with Hi-Viz Yellow safety striping to frame sill and steps. Note that the yellow striping and I think also the yellow feathering behind the radiator have changed to a more rounded finish where previously they curved parabolically to the deck at an angle which almost matched the bracing running down to the bottom of the front steps. There is a similar shot of 2716 outside the TQW warehouse here on this site [search thru Effingham photos] which shows a similar view of 2716 wearing the first EFRR paint scheme of red with yellow stripes but no sill striping. This is the current EFRR scheme and serves as the basis for the paint job on IW 7570. Interestingly the author of this photo on the flickr photo website mentions [12 months ago] that he thinks EFRR is no longer running. Has someone forgotten to tell the folks at EFRR this? If you live local to the EFRR or are visiting and wish to take some photos then please contact EFRR to let them know when you are coming and to obtain a liability waiver/permission slip. You know Bad Apples, 9/11, etc, yada, yada, yada. Again if you do take some photos then please contact me. |

IW 7570 on Hodgson Mill Siding |
| Description: |
Found this on another website, no idea which one. This photo shows the rail side of Hodgson Mill and I am not sure if IW 7570 is in Phase 2 Minus or full Phase 2 paint work. Good details of the back of the mill and also if you look between the two buildings you can see the aggregate pile at Mid-Illinois Concrete another EFRR customer. |

This photo of EFRR 2716 is from another contributor to this site, but you never see it unless you check out the all the Effingham photos. I am not claiming ownership of this photo in any way I just wanted to include it so that anyone viewing my album [including myself] can easily see just how much care and attention is lavished upon EFRR 2716 now. It was interesting to be able to search for the MRL 11000 boxcar on this site to see other views of it, so Thank You to those contributors who take the time to photograph and record rolling stock. |

IW 7570 on Hodgson Mill Siding just near TQW |
| Description: |
Not sure exactly which website I found this photo on but it is a nice shot of IW 7570 in what I am calling its Phase 1 paint job, which despite some signs of weathering sure looks one hell of a lot better than its previous Conrail paint job. Just how bad it looked when they found it on the dead line I hate to think but the crew from IW brought her back from the dead to live again and soon she will be painted in her EFRR inspired Phase 2 Minus paint job, then sometime in the following two months she will receive her Illinois Western lettering again, completing her Phase 2 paint job. If you look to the rear end of 7570 you will see a UP auto car which is on the CSXT/CN interchange tracks barely 100 feet away which the EFRR parallels. |

Krispy Kreme |
| Description: |
Completed and fully landscaped shot of the Krispy Kreme Manufacturing and Distribution plant in the Effingham Rail Park served by the EFRR and one of the main reasons for its location there. The plant was opened by K.K in April 2002 at a cost of $35 Million and closed in December 2007 when sold to Harlan Bakeries for $12 Million and in the previous financial quarter it had lost $27 Million. Mind you K.K were not adverse to some financial slight of hand as the original financing of the plant was using a somewhat dubious accounting method whereby the mortgage didnt appear on the Balance Sheet but the costs were claimable. They also scored Local and State Tax breaks for openning the plant and employing people. It all leaves a bit of an aftertaste to the prospect of being able to model a real rail served donut plant on a shortline railroad. The rail unloading facility building is the chocolate coloured one at the left of the K.K sign, with the two large doors serving the tail end of the two unloading tracks and the smaller roller door being for the truck run through curcuit. The inbound goods are stored in those partly obscured silos next to the tall part of the plant. |

Krispy Kreme |
| Description: |
The photo sums up the whole reason for why Krispy Kreme built the manufacturing and distribution plant at Effingham on the EFRR. To produce lots and lots of these 50 pound bags of donut mix for distribution to Mid-Western and Western [via a California based distribution warehouse] Krispy Kreme stores. The actual numbers that the plant was capable of producing stagger the mind and would make a hell of a lot of donuts. |

Krispy Kreme |
| Description: |
Chocolate coloured building at left has two run through rail tracks to the left just out of shot. You can see one of the bump posts. The building was used for unloading railcars and trucks of ingedients for piping in to those storage tanks. I am unsure if they also used the building to load boxcars with pallets of store shipments to the California distribution warehouse. |

IW 7570 |
| Description: |
IW 7570 screen capture from recently updated Illinois Western website home page. The photo was taken on the EFRR tracks at Effingham, IL, where 7570 is based. Date is estimated. The clues are the unique powerline crossarms in the back ground and the jointed rails in the foreground and under 7570. 7570 is wearing its phase 2 paint job inspired by the phase 2 paint job on EFRR 2716. Note 7570 has snow plows to both front and rear which I think is very unusual. |
