Nice catch! I didn't know the CN had run-thru on the "J."
|
Wow! I never thought i would see a picture of a CN train on the J, especially West Chicago!!
|
Nice shot there Joe.
|
Its got to be a 1st Joe for me, catching a CN cowl on the J period. Nice catch.
|
Great work & nice catch on your part Joe. This shot has a little of everything.
|
Nice Catch! The CN has Trackage rights thought the J along with UP. I Have a shot with a J train heading South grabbing a track warrant, but this shot is much better.

WOW! I thought this may have been a photo freight! Thats so cool. Great looking tower and diamonds.

CN ususally doesn't run that far south on the Western Subdivision. This is one of the trains CN detoured off the ex-WC due to trackwork at B12, so this is a very rare occurance.

Saw this train early in the a.m. on Saturday sitting in Sutton Siding (near Sears Centre). It was still there when I passed over in the afternoon around 3:00.

A little info...Yes...most trains of CN heratige on the J take the connection at Munger to the north....back in the day WC and CN ran taconite trains down the J all the way to Kirk..so in otherwords its not common for late April to see a CN train on the J at West Chicago...

I'll concur with Ian's comment... the J also see's run-thru action by the UP and BNSF, actually, the western sub south (east) of Eola see's more UP/BNSF traffic than J traffic easily. And Joe... your first time is always the best...
