SOO 4411
Title:  SOO 4411
Description:  SOO 4411 at the IC&E yard in South Beloit, IL. This may be a IC&E unit since my research seems to indicate the CP has taken control of the DME and ICE, but I haven't been able to confirm that is still the situation because CARH is involved too. Perhaps someone can share some information on this.

YJA65 in "push-pull" configuration crosses Blackhawk Boulevard
Title:  YJA65 in "push-pull" configuration crosses Blackhawk Boulevard
Description:  Just south of the barely-marked Behr spur crossing, the "main" line's (ex-C&NW Chicago/Harvard-Janesville/Madison) crossing of Blackhawk Blvd. has four signals on the shoulders and median. Interestingly, photos from the C&NW era show there were gates here then - a rare example of crossing protection being "downgraded."
