A "train delay" might disrupt this little league baseball game taking place at Gilbert Park. An SD70ACe is second back on today's eastbound UP stacker.

A westbound coal empty heads back to Wyoming with the first H3 SD70MAC on the point. I almost got skunked by that eastbound Metra train.

I set up my shot at this location before anyone else had arrived. When the photo line formed in front of me, it just made the shot more interesting.

Some people have rivers and lakes nearby that provide great reflection shots all the time. We urban railfans have to wait around for our chances. The rain earlier in the day had left part of this ... (more)

The KCS business train lays over at the former intermodal ramp in Knoche Yard, having arrived earlier in the day from Chicago. The train will depart KC on October 14th.

The 261 crew meet with the movie production crew on the day's plan. The ducks were just there for the free food.

Newly numberboarded 402 "State of Illinois" takes up the whole crossing as it slowly pulls in. Nice VW, too.

My first stop (unintentionally - I got lost trying to get to my planned first stop) is at the big bridge at Boylston. The tree wasn't tall enough to hide the P42.

Return of the Trio - the eastbound CNWs have entered Chicagoland, this time with a UP 1995 sandwich.

Making its 5th appearance on the Chicago Sub this April, 7695 once again heads west. The guy on the right had just taken a shot and is already doing the "digital bow."

The 261 deserves some attention too - after all, it was the one that made it a triple header.

Ahh! It's hideous! A super-faded, pink Dash 9 leads empty spine cars east.
