Indiana Harbor Belt Caboose #19
Title:  Indiana Harbor Belt Caboose #19
Description:  Bobbing along at the end of a string of coil cars one afternoon at Dolton, IL, was this Indiana Harbor Belt caboose. I hate calling it a shoving platform (more modern term now) when it looks like it is performing the traditional caboose trailing action.

Indiana Harbor Belt Caboose #19
Title:  Indiana Harbor Belt Caboose #19
Description:  The string of coil cars stretches east with the little caboose at the end. The train slows for a moment and the conductor hops off - note the tiny man to the far right near the loco. At that point, the caboose is morphing before my eyes into a shoving platform.

Power Move Waiting
Title:  Power Move Waiting
Description:  BNSF 9233 leads this NS 963 power move north as it sits in Granite City, Illinois, currently waiting for a crew to head for Decatur, Illinois. The power ended up holding just north of here for a few hours before a road crew arrived to take the power to Decatur. Engines in consist were pretty eclectic: BNSF 9233, NS 2674, NS 7571, NS 2701, NS 7661- NS 9844, NS 2579, & NS 9533.
