Sunrise in Seneca. It almost still looks like 30 years ago... By: Chris Lastovich
|
The first shot of the morning as the sun rises at 05:58; 713, 703, and 156 come into view with an extra RIBI made up of 3 blocks of sand cars for Ozinga in Mokena and stacks for Burr Oak. This was a "Oh S*@#" moment... and my resulting image is blurred and slightly over exposed... oh well! By: Chris Lastovich

CSXT 1500 strolls past a vintage Rock signal converted to a distant signal to signify the start of Ottawa YL. By: Chris Lastovich

Now that the clouds have settled in, CSXT's J745 is clear of the main and Iowa 713 enters the Ottawa block and proceeds east across the Illinois Railway diamond in town. By: Chris Lastovich

Clearing Ottawa YL, the three EMD's thunder to life and the 6,600 horsies charge east just like years past. By: Chris Lastovich

An extra RIBI running as CSXT foreign train Z026 14 thunders out of the siding at Seneca with a new crew and blocks to Rockdale. Iowa 713, 703, and 156 do the honors with huge blocks of sand for Hickory Creek and a cut of stacks for Burr Oak. By: Chris Lastovich

The cloudy skies opened the door to try a new angle at Morris as the Z026 14 rolls east by the restored RI Depot. By: Chris Lastovich
|
I opted to head out a little east of Minooka and try out a new spot... not too bad though the replacement of the old stick rail a couple years ago really kills the video here. By: Chris Lastovich

Strolling east, their quick trip across CSX land will shortly end as the search for a CSX bridge tender to operate 407 begins. By: Chris Lastovich
|
Holding in Rockdale, CSX finally found a bridge operator for 407, but Metra says no, so the wait continued, and I headed home to bed! By: Chris Lastovich

Sunrise in Seneca as the fog begins to lift.
