UP 6153 |
| Description: |
Our eastbound showed first. A short MCBCH passes underneath the coaling tower at Nelson with a solo rebuilt AC4400CW on the front. Unfortunately, a long string of stored well cars was on the track furthest to the south, so I had to settle for this awkward shot of the train to try to block out the sun. |

UP 6153 |
| Description: |
MCBCHs work at G3 didnt take super long and by the time we left the Rochelle area they were already on their way west. So, we decided to get a shot of it coming under the other coaling tower at Dekalb. The same train under both coaling towers on the Geneva Sub. Neat. |

Just like the BNSF power from earlier, this set also got a light to head back into the yard. We grabbed our shots of the UP unit and called it a day at CP Hohman. Next stop, Homewood! |

CSX I008 was next up eastbound. After I008, no more trains were in the general area, but there was plenty of scanner chatter on NS, so I decided to continue south to Hagerstown. |

| Description: |
While most of the leaves had changed or fallen, the leaves in the woods where we shot the two northbounds the day before still looked pretty nice, especially on the south side, so that is where we set up for I151. After this, we went into Bowling Green for some lunch at Arbys and continued home. |

UP 7228 |
| Description: |
Back on US 30, we continued to follow the tracks, just like we did yesterday. And of course, we couldnt stop for everything, which meant getting shots like this. UP 7228 leads an eastbound grain train outside of Sutherland, NE. Before it was a tie train that we had just barely missed. |

CSX 7232 |
| Description: |
Reports of replacements vaders quickly popping up to the locations where Conrail Era Trilight signals were guarding the rails between Sidney and Quincy, OH on the CSX Indy Line had me scrambling to find a day to go get my last shots of them before they all came down. Finally, I found a free Monday and took the time to go south to get as many shots as I could of trains passing the signals before their untimely demise. I knew in order to get as much traffic as I could moving I would have to start the day early, as long lulls on the Indy Line are quite common these days. I quick hopped on US 33 and once reaching I75 I made a "B-Line" (haha, get it? Cause Conrail called this the B-Line, meh, never mind) toward Sidney. While coming into Sidney, CSX M364 was slowly working their way east through town, I was well behind the train, but thankfully the train was well over 200 cars long, which gave me a pretty good shot to get to Quincy and grab it passing the eastbound facing pair of signals there. The sun still wasnt up, but I definitely knew I needed to make due. |

I broke away from the ND&W for CSX M367, which was carrying some special cargo in the 3rd spot. An original Northern Pacific GP9 was in tow, bound for home rails at a museum in Washington State. I set up for a shot by the Ridis Gas Station just down from FC. |

CSX 7279 |
| Description: |
After the local, everything went quiet. I knew there was a M363 to come west and the L428 would eventually come back west as well, but there was no sign that either was going to show up anytime soon. The L428 had the same geep trio from the week before and I really wanted to get them coming westbound by the QI 172 pair, but I also didnt want to wait on them for forever. CSX M510 was coming north on the Toledo Sub, so I caved and left my post on the Indy Line and went to Swanders. Sure enough, as M510 was coming north through Sidney, M363 was going west. So, I missed my westbound shot at QI 172. Oh well, maybe next time. |

| Description: |
Despite being perturbed about the engine not being on the point, I decided I might as well see it anyway. I started making my way back toward Edgerton when I heard the crew of CP 147 crackle over the radio. I stopped just west of Blakeslee to see it roaring west on the Wabash through the countryside. |

CP 8068 |
| Description: |
A mental error ended up being a big mistake for me. A westbound was coming at the same time, and I knew I should have walked back to the road if not a little further down to try to get a shot without the stack train eclipsing it. However, I hoped the stack train would clear in time to grab it coming by the other codeline polls behind me. Well, the stack train cleared and CP 2-231 showed up right in front of me, so all I managed to get was this roster shot of the solo CP unit going away. Thankfully, my Dad didnt get fooled, and managed to get a good shot of the train approaching at the crossing. |

| Description: |
A rebuilt CP AC4400CW (now AC44C4M) trails 2nd on the oil train. They sure look a lot nicer with the Beaver logo on them than some of the "newer" engines. The Beaver logo was recently introduced back to CP and will now be sported on all the rebuilt and new engines that CP orders. The AC4400CWs were starting to look crummy so it definitely was about time to rebuild and repaint them. |

CP 130 (the old CP 140) closes out my day with a pair of CP GEs up front. A total of 28 trains passed the camera today. While it wasnt the busiest Ive ever seen the Chicago Line, the number of BNSF leaders and trailers was mind boggling; a total of 7 had BNSFs leading and 5 more had BNSFs trailing which brought up a total of 12 trains with at least 1 BNSF unit in the consist. Just under half! Orange is my favorite color so I have no complaints! A fun day on the busy mainline! |
