Passing through the damp plowed field just south of Lake Cormorant CN G87670-17 is about to go under US highway 61 in the Mississippi Delta Country making on the CN Yahzoo Sub. Since the early 90s upgrade, the Illinois Central had did a wide range of track work replacing the almost 218 plus rail-miles of jointed rails, with welded rails, and the installation of CTC signaling was completed as well. The flat terrain, and the few slight curve on this line make for fast running for freight traffic for both direction. Photo from the John Kirk collection
