Northshore Miining SD28 #1236 parked on the east end of Barr Yard in Riverdale, Illinois. Only 12 SD28 locomotives were manufactured by EMD back in the mid 60's, 4 went to Reserve Mining, now part of Northshore Mining.
A pair of locomotives damaged in the crash involving three CSX trains near Valparaiso Indiana, on January 6th, 2012, sit in Barr Yard in Riverdale. The first locomotive to the right is CSXT 5284, an ES44DC. The second is an AC4400CW, either CSXT 517 or 320.
An ex-Conrail GP15-1 and an ex-Chessie System (C&O) GP15T, along with a Chessie System (B&O) caboose, idle next to the tower on the west end of CSX's Barr Yard in Riverdale, Illinois.
A coal load rumbles along near West Barr on the BNSF Brush Subdivision. Just a a very few years ago it was basically open farmland on the other side of the tracks.

Coal load BNSF 6198 moves west through the
switch at West Barr as I shoot through
a patch of cattails.
