Viewing Album:  An October Day on the Chicago Line: 10/19/2019
 
By:Jacob Werling
Dates:10/19/2019 - 10/19/2019
Album Info:I decided to take a trip up to the Chicago Line today in search for some nice leaves to frame trains against. However, the changes weren't in full affect yet and I didn't get all the color I wanted. However, I did grab a fair amount of trains and traffic was heavy most of the day. Enjoy!

NS 8078
Title:  NS 8078
Description:  I heard the Toledo West dispatcher give a Box 2 and Box 3 to some maintenance crew around the Ligonier area on NS, so I decided to make my w`y back. Sure enough, crawling west was a ballast cleaner, working nonetheless. I settled down at Elkhart CR 33 to get some shots of it working. NS 294 had a slow order by the men and equipment but still made it to the crossing and cleared the crossing before the ballast cleaner hit.

NS 6337
Title:  NS 6337
Description:  Usually I dont like it when they put Cab Signal Compliant Leaders on the point of foreign unit trains in Elkhart. However, sometimes there are exceptions to that. NS 48A, a worm train from the BNSF, comes east with a SD40E tacked on the point followed by 3 BNSF GEVOs.

BNSF 9802
Title:  BNSF 9802
Description:  With the effects of PSR coming into a noticeable full swing, many fans tend to now avoid the Chicago Line because lots of the older or foreign power that once ran trains have now been changed out with the newer GE and EMD power. However, this one is one of the oddball. An SD70MAC leader on westbound Detroit Edison Coal Empties NS 881. STILL in its former BN Cream n Green Paint. The first one of these that Ive shot leading a train in several years. The SD70MACs are not as old as some of the power that used to and still runs this line on occasion, but as PTC requirements grow, a lot of these have been sidelined. But every so often, one or two seem to sneak out and be put on the lead of trains. This one was an exception, and easily the catch of the day. I framed with with the hidden Millersburg Grain elevator, as most of the leaves had not changed in this spot yet.
