Back in 2019 work is closing in quick to replace these old Rock Island era signals. A Metra outbound train passes under the classic signals on the Joliet Sub. Signals retired October 2022.

Inbound and outbound trains meet, as a third gets ready to go back in the terminal. Will shots like this still be possible once the construction to the left is finished?

A rare sight at Joliet Union Station as the inbound Texas Eagle, running on the BNSF Transcon Main 2 which I have never seen before, waits for Metra MP36 407 to pound the diamonds.

Metra 203 slows down for its stop at Joliet Union Station.
