Heading east across the diamonds in Dolton, with a CSX GP15T leading. 25 of the 28 turbocharged GP15's built went to the Chessie System in 1982, now part of the CSX roster.
CP 457 is taking over the diamond while CN 314 waits for a crew. This is the JCT of the CN Warman sub & CP Wilkie subs, both considered part of each Railways Prairie North Line. Note the long tankers cut in 314's consist!
