IC 1003 |
Description: |
The good IC unit trails behind the repaint on A407. Win some, loose some. Cant complain with SD70 standard cabs on road trains at all, regardless of what paint they are in. |

IC 1007 |
Description: |
After Amtrak I worked my way north to Gilman where I noticed that the L555 local to Otto would be sporting a Deathstar on the front. Exactly what I was hoping for. However, at the same time, I also heard peeps coming from the Bloomer frequency. I was a bit torn on what to do, but since I had never shot the Bloomer before I decided to make that my priority. Not even 4 miles out of Gilman and I picked up L555 keying up the dispatch ready to go north. I knew chances were if I chased the Bloomer I would not get back to the IC in time to see L555 come south, so I turned around and went back. Set up at Danforth, and boy was it worth it! |

IC 1021 and CN 3180 |
Description: |
And unfortunately that is exactly what happened. Thankfully there was just enough of an opening to get the two trains meeting. This could have definitely been a lot worse. In a way, this is actually pretty cool. |

I circlied back around town to check the CN for one last time before headin east. I found that the Gilman local had returned while I was shooting the TPW train. They must have spun the engine on the Otto Loop. |

IC 1026 |
Description: |
The outbound CN L515 builds in the yard with a pretty eclectic mix of IC power. Unfortunately this is the closest they would get before the train would tie down for the crew to hop on. And we would not wait that long. |

IC 1027 |
Description: |
After leaving Pine, we took one more swing around Kirk Yard to see if there were any CN trains/waiting to go into the yard, and sure enough there was. A manifest with 7 engines, including an IC Deathstar 3rd in line, was waiting for permission. We pulled off at an auto dealership to take photos of the deathstar. This would serve as the final train of the day. What a first day it was! 43 trains all together with some pretty nice catches! And Pine Jct, is just like everyne says it is, unstoppable! Every time one train would pass, you could see the next one! Despite it being so cold and snowy it was very fun! Tomorrow we go to church and the Great Midwest Train Show in Wheaton, IL then watch trains afterwards! Very good day! Hope to go back to Pine again soon! |

Description: |
A repainted Illinois Central SD70 trails on the manifest. Obviously would have been cool to see it in Deathstar paint but oh well. Still pretty cool. The Deathstar SD70s are starting to slowly fade away though |

IC 1039 |
Description: |
After looking at all there was to see west of town, we knew we would just have to play catch up for A407, as nothing else was poised to come our direction. We went and got "lupper" (as we like to call it) at the Dairy Queen in Clifton, then continued south. Not even 2 minutes after we were out of the drive thru, A407 screamed north, unfortunately with a repaint IC SD70 leading the deathstar. It took some effort, but we made it back to Chebanse in time to grab it coming by the IC depot. |
