Predawn....
One of my five favorite Soo locomotives...
A single unit leads this short intermodal east.
A rather ratty looking "P" sports a custom hand painted numberboard as it leads the eastbound Empire Builder.
With the crew on board, Amtrak 334 blows by on main 2.
335 is making an eastbound move thru the crossovers after pulling thru the plant to clear for 336, thats why the markers are on too.
Zippin thru Wadsworth...
Relatively on time today...
I just want to drive down to Chicago & ask "Why don't these ever get into the WASH RACKS???"
Heading south to crossover @ the "Wads".
This intermodal sweeps up & into the curve...
Class unit 8500 exits the long curve as it crosses Illinois Hwy 173
Another trip into Chicago from Milwaukee for this train set...
Moving clouds blur the moon as city lights reflect, 20 sec exposure taken at 02:58, No additional light or "photoshoping" =)
Amtrak 336 passes 286's train as another freight occupies the siding.
