Today is the first time I've ever seen foriegn power on an IAIS train- an old Ex. Wisconsin Central NREX unit is fourth unit out on this evening's BICB manifest. I'm guessing it's being sent to Minooka, IL. to be torched.

I think this is a must see. IAIS CBBI heads through Ottawa with ES44AC 511 followed by an SD38-2 and then a GP38-2. Lots of double stacks at the end too.

Just after the locomotives crossed the lift bridge, we hopped into the car and quickly got ahead of the train. I got the shot I always wanted to get further down when IAIS rumbles over the EJ&E diamonds. From there, we paced it through New Lenox, ultimatly ending at a private crossing.
