Description: |
I had wanted to shoot an SD40-2 leading during this trip, and late on the 15th I was given just that. Not a bad supporting cast either in the form of the 8571. |

On the cutoff towards Barr Yard now, the pair of EMD's march past one of two remaining CPL signals standing at Dolton. I couldn't believe how many new signals were in Chicago, sadly in due time they will all look alike. |

CSXT 7684 |
Description: |
After waiting on "Mount Dolton" for about a half hour with nothing in sight, I find this guy coming down the old Mopac. New to the area, I figured he would head straight through and over the diamonds. Wrong, so I protected my camera and ran blindly through brush and other strange things to get this shot. Funny to watch I'd bet, but there was an SD50 trailing, so you have to do what you have to do. |

CSXT 1513 |
Description: |
A pair of GP15T's surprise me,so I had to do with what I was dealt. With no room, I had to use the signal box as something, so atleast it has an address. People in the part of town really don't care about trains, as a lady walked right in front of this train, only getting off the tracks by about 10 or so feet before these guys came through. She didn't even walk faster, just a casual walk. She later continued down the middle of the street like she owned the place. People! |
