    IR 6 - Ottawa

    Every engine displayed here, was on and idling. It was a really cool sound. Here, IR 6 is attatched to IR 2, OSS 3757 is by itself, and HBRY 5008, 5009, and NKC 3 are ready to go to Eola, which won't happen for another 24+ hours...

    Hunter's Harlot

    Despite the termination of CN SD40-2s, Hunter Harrison can't bring himself to repaint an IC SD40R. I suppose it does look kinda' neat, though. This train is preparing to take the siding.

    Bogies?

    What appears to be axels or freightcar bogies seem to be covered on this IC flatcar. They don't seem to covered very well, let alone tied to the car for that matter.

    Lisle Illinois with Nikon 80-400VR lens

    Lisle Illinois Metra Station. This thing was moving pretty good. Someday I'll learn the types of engines. I guess all I can use to describe it now is BNSF, #137. The train was East bound on track 3.
