Every engine displayed here, was on and idling. It was a really cool sound. Here, IR 6 is attatched to IR 2, OSS 3757 is by itself, and HBRY 5008, 5009, and NKC 3 are ready to go to Eola, which won't happen for another 24+ hours...
This was a real surprise! I was afraid that clouds would roll into the area so I went to the shops before picking my friend up, and saw this surprise sitting on the point.
Despite the termination of CN SD40-2s, Hunter Harrison can't bring himself to repaint an IC SD40R. I suppose it does look kinda' neat, though. This train is preparing to take the siding.
What appears to be axels or freightcar bogies seem to be covered on this IC flatcar. They don't seem to covered very well, let alone tied to the car for that matter.
Alot of old friends came to visit me today. Here we see CN 5444, which I have crossed paths with atleast 3 times. Behind the SD50 is an Illinois Central SD40-2R 6058. They took CN 450 into the hole to wait for an Westbound coal train.
IC 2717 and 6128 roll down the Illinois Central past the Homewood Railroad Park.

Lisle Illinois Metra Station. This thing was moving pretty good. Someday I'll learn the types of engines. I guess all I can use to describe it now is BNSF, #137. The train was East bound on track 3.
NS 21A westbound running on the NS Illinois Division's Lafayette District following a major shnow storm in North Central Indiana today. Sun appears a couple of hours prior to sunset for some sweet light.
