A warm humid early morning casts some odd light as a EJ&E junk freight bangs across UP's Villa Grove Sub. at the former EJ&E Jay Tower.

EJ&E SD38-2s 675 and 663 are in notch 8 as they head through Joliet with USX West. Nothing like hearing a pair of EJ&E SD38-2s at full throttle.

A light power set of 3 SD38s heads to Kirk Yard after dropping off a coal train at the State Line power plant.

Crossing the UP at the inactive Barrington tower.

Pulling hard starting the journey back to Joliet.
