The local power waits its turn to use the main line as the Q-SSECHC in the background gets ready to depart.

Eastbound local

Exiting Abo Canyon westbound.

Getting the word.

Oh how the times change........40 years ago you would've seen ATSF going east/west across Ash St as it once was a crossing between the north/south B&OCT and PRR and the east/west IC and ATSF.

FWWR 2008 leads a four unit Dublin Turn past Bluffdale preparing to assault Stephenville hill at full throttle.

The engineer plays with the throttle as the train slowly glides off the BNSF main and onto the NS.

BNSF 3183 comes to a stop awaiting clearance across the CN/BNSF tracks at Ash St. Interlocking.

A BNSF GP50/SD9/B23-7 power set get under way again passing the last semiphores in the Chicagoland area at Brighton Park.

LAW continues the trek down the NS Industrial tracks toward Ashland Ave. yard with a stellar BNSF consist pulling hard across the famed steel bridges of Ash. St. Interlocking.

Whatever happened to class?

Watco power sits on the NCRR, just off the NS main at Oneida on this bright winter day. The 42 mile line runs from Oneida to the National Coal prep plant at Devonia, TN.

Chicago-KC manifest.

Power for the local night switch crews idles ready in the FWWR Hodge yard. NREX 2937 is on lease to FWWR while two older FWWR units are being converted into genset switchers.
