First Picture of 2012
Title:  First Picture of 2012
Description:  Came down to Chicago to deal with a Visa problem for my girlfriend's trip abroad to India. We had to stay overnight, and I was able to sneak away from the hotel briefly to check the Metra UP Northwest Line. Here a southbound commuter train to Chicago-Ogilvie arrives in Arlington Heights.

(2) CSX R170-08
Title:  (2) CSX R170-08
Description:  Rolling downgrade into the Thornapple River Valley, CSX 738 leads R170 towards the overpass at Thornapple River Drive. This was one of a number of trains rerouted through Michigan over this particular weekend due to an epic crash on the B&O in Indiana. This was the only one of those trains I saw, however, as I was too busy sending my girlfriend off to India and then subsequently missing her. I just happened to catch this train by pure luck. Doing some errands.

CSX D708-20
Title:  CSX D708-20
Description:  Running very late, D708 rolls through the switch at E.E. Trowbridge and enters the mainline as it resumes its local trip to Howell to switch industries. I'll never understand why the dispatcher decided to run this train through the siding with no opposing traffic present.

CN 399
Title:  CN 399
Description:  BNSF Pumpkin Dash-9 4932 leads 399 across Harrison road, just ahead of Amtrak 365. A few years ago, if you had told me I'd be excited to see an engine like this, I would have laughed. But living in non-BNSF land, these are now rare among visiting engines. Most BNSF engines venturing into Michigan today are H3s.

Amtrak 365
Title:  Amtrak 365
Description:  With a new consist for today's run, Amtrak 33 leads the Blue Water past the old GTW station in Lansing, now in the beginning stages of its renovation for an office structure to a new Board of Water and Light power plant. The new plant will replace the existing coal plant located 135 degrees to the left of my position for this photo.

CSX 6399 appears to be a dud
Title:  CSX 6399 appears to be a dud
Description:  6399 brings up the markers as D908 heads back to Lansing. Given the fact that 6072, leading at the front of the train, was called to do today's work, it reasons that there is a problem with 6399, relegating it to this rather embarrassing job as a caboose.

CN 396
Title:  CN 396
Description:  Another new(er) C40-8W, freshly repainted in Centralia, IL, leads CN 396 past the Amtrak station. This unit was a nice treat not only for the clean paint, but also due to the fact that it retains its original, in-tune Leslie S-3L airhorn. A good break from the ordinary.

Amtrak P370-29
Title:  Amtrak P370-29
Description:  Why, 500, we meet again! Having recently finished its bio-diesel testing on the Heartland Flyer, Amtrak 500 has once again been released into the general pool. A power shortage has seen the engine's use on the Pere Marquette and as of the upload date of this photo, the engine is still working 370 and 371. Here it sits with 370 as it unloads passengers on its first night in Grand Rapids. Definitely a nice break from the ordinary!
