The two continue rolling through the turnout leading to the UP mainline and yard just south of here. The white building to the left is the IHB tower that controls the UP/IHB/CSX diamond.

The conductor turns his attention away from the crazy foamer standing in the cold air and starts watching the turnout ahead taking them toward the UP mainline and yard just south of here.

Next thing I know is the duo are heading back toward me. The conductor throws a cautious wave as he approaches the foamer photographer.

After clearing the crossing, the two slow down even more. I turn my attention elsewhere thinking they are rolling possibly toward Gibson Yard in Hammond for an auto rack train pickup.

The two continue east on the IHB mainline slowly.

The two slowly glide forward past the CSX signal tower.

A pair of UP locos slowly rolling along the Indiana Harbor Belt mainline approaches the Lincoln Avenue crossing.
