IHB 1521 leads a local east through Hammond.
8 switchers and 2 slugs
Sun setting on the Indiana Harbor Belts Blue Island yard. I was hoping to catch SP #4449 passing through here but it was elsewhere. Photo from the Halsted Street overpass.
Waiting for clearance to get their cut of cars.
In fourth position is another yard slug, this time PB3 running with its telescope "eyes" fixed on the last member of the parade, #1512.
Third in line is another workhorse SW1500 switcher, #1521.
Slowly rolling east along the IHB mainline in Dolton is this interesting parade of switchers and slugs.
The trio continues east on the IHB mainline toward Gibson yard with its long string of vehicular flats on this sunny August day.
In lead position heading down the IHB mainline at Dolton are IHB 1521 and yard slug PB3 tethered together with IHB 1516 trailing.
This trio of Indiana Harbor Belt switchers were in charge of a string of vehicular flats on this day in August.
