Railfanning the last of the Triple Crown Road Railers. Followed the last eastbound Road Railer 256 from East Hannibal to Sidney on August 24th with NS 8100 the Nickel Plate heritage unit leading. Then caught the final daylight meet between two Road Railer trains in Sidney, and chased the westbound 255 to Dawson. The next day was the final Road Railer train ever, the westbound 255. We chased that last 255 from Peru, IN to Colburn. After August 25th the Road Railer service was switched to TOFC (trailer on flat car) and will eventually be converted to a standard intermodal train.
