Another ex-C&NW C44-9W, followed by an ex-C&NW C41-8W, an SD40T, and an SD70M. A very nice lineup. This train had to stop and wait for a BNSF intermodal to pass over the diamonds.

Uh-oh. Signs of autumn are all around... Anyway, here is 192, which had it's undercarriage repainted black, so it's super shiny. It'll last about 5 day this shiny...

A most interesting local this morning...a small tank car and six ATSF boxcars came and went with the locomotive. Plus, it stayed in DG for over an hour and stopped for about 10 minutes in town, bl... (more)

Outbound stack train with three Dash 9s as it's power. Really something to feel the train go under the old bridge here.

Pulled in a few minutes after Amtrak's Illinois Zephyr.

4982 heads east on Main 3, where this track track slpits off a little from the other 2 tracks, because of the split bridge in Lisle, which is because there used to be a middle platform here!

The local has a grain and plywood for deliveries to the Pepperidge farm factory and Hines Lumber.

201 pushes its train out of Belmont Station and on towards Downers Grove-Main Street

BNSF 4831 passes METX 192, with two BN SD40-2s. Notice 4831 is missing a numberboard.

404 takes an express under the Fairview block signals.

Three Dash9s lead a colorful doublestack westbound. Today was a very successful day--Lots of freight action and plenty of sun.

AMTK 29 being shoved by 90218 pushing hard on the rear...I wish... : (

Lots of Cubs (and maybe some Sox) fans load onto the express into the city, to see the South-siders walk in the Cubs' winning run in the bottom of the 9th.

Two H1 SD40-2s lead a westbound intermodal. The first one's patch job isn't very obvious...Can't tell it's FURX until it's right next to ya!

Goin' slow, runnin' wrong main, about to stop. It did stop and blocked all three crossings in town for a good 10 minutes. Also preventing an ambulance from crossing.
