IAIS 507 is in charge of BICB 06 all by herself as the train storms through Tinley Park. Tonights train was pretty simple, 1/2 IM and 1/2 ethanol. 06-06-09. By: Chris Lastovich

BICB and BIRI sit poised and ready at the west end of Burr Oak Yard. The 700 has BICB, and 504 has BIRI, a whole ton of traffic for CR. 06-07-09 By: Chris Lastovich

Iowa 700 leads a unique BICB under the old Wabash in New Lenox, IL. I am standing on a golf course that is easily accessible from a gravle path leading from the Nex Lenox Depot. 06-07-09 By: Chris Lastovich

Iowa's 507 has found a sun spot as the train plops across the diamonds and slows for CSX's Bridge 407. 06-14-09 By: Chris Lastovich

The shot at Joliet that I ultimately wanted was way shadowed out by the Joliet Court House, so I need to now figure out what time of year the sun hits this spot this late in the day... it will be done! 06-14-09 By: Chris Lastovich
|
Metra 421 still looked nice in the low light as the storm clouds stayed to the west... now hopefully BICB will get here fast enough. 06-18-09 By: Chris Lastovich
|
Of course, the storm clouds couldn't hold off long enough and 714/501 made their appearance under the darkness here at New Lenox. 06-18-09 By: Chris Lastovich
|
I heard a CN train with J power clearing their warrant into Joliet and figured I would go check that out too, so what the heck, here is a second roll-by of 714 along Rte 30. BICB would actually end up waiting for the CN/EJE Line Train to get across the diamonds. 06-18-09 By: Chris Lastovich

The next eastbound Metra has his signal as BICB with 719 and 506 thunders westbound at Oak Forest. 06-23-09 By: Chris Lastovich

I wanted to re-do this shot at Oak Forest with a train running wrong main, which only happens on weekdays for whatever reason, so here we are, a GP38-2/GEVO combo in Run 8 storming through Oak Forest. Now all I need is a well lit GEVO leading through here and I'm good! 06-23-09 By: Chris Lastovich

Iowa 504 leads GP38-2 703 on the daily BICB out of Burr Oak yard as they glide across the Cal Sag Channel leaving Blue Island. 07-22-09 By: Chris Lastovich

Still looking veyr glossy and new, Iowa 506 leads equally as clean 710, 502, and 717 on a lengthy BICB through Oak Forest, IL. I was definately stretching the length of daylight here... 08-02-09 By: Chris Lastovich
|
For whatever reason this evening, 506 was BOed from leading.. so they threw 706 up front for the trip west. A little variety still happens evn with the GE's! Oak Forest Depot, 08-06-09 By: Chris Lastovich
