Iowa 510 pulls into Rockdale splitting the vintage RI search lights. The train here for the 10:24 eastbound scoot and a new crew. By: Chris Lastovich

The RI crew detrains as the BI crew over looks their "new toy" as they were calling it. All the guys were really great to talk with and the BI guys even posed for a few shots since they "never have any pictures to show the wives..." By: Chris Lastovich

Minus the burnt out lower nose light bulb, this could act as a company photograph with such even light on the new motor. Iowa 510 leads RICSXU as the unit give it all she has climbing out of the river valley along Rte 30. That DPU definately got a nice test... By: Chris Lastovich

After holding at C.P. 66th Ct for the westbound Metra to cross-over, Iowa 510 and DPU 502 are in Run 8 building speed toward BI. Shot was taken from the Tinley Park clock tower. By: Chris Lastovich

A little too trigger happy, I muffed up the only chance at a well lit shot of the 502... but anyways, 502 shoves east on RICSXU at Tinley Park, IL. By: Chris Lastovich

The new GE's prepare to lead their first westbound out of Burr Oak Yard. Of course, with night coming quickly, a quickie timed exposure was all that could be had. The BISW crew ran out of time to get the power on the train so the BICB crew will have to finish the job. By: Chris Lastovich
