AMTK 168 |
| Description: |
A day to the IC mainline was calling my name. Despite it being mostly flat with not a lot of trees along it, I decided to take one of my Fall Foliage Vacation Days from work to head out there. I started my day in Gilman. And to my surprise, the trees were actually quite nice. The City of New Orleans started my day with a sole P42DC on the front. These trains have lately been testing the new long distance charger locomotives, so seeing a P42 up front was really nice. |

CN 8961 |
| Description: |
Things went quiet after Amtrak, so I decided to move south to Onarga to sit for a bit. I waited a while until I could hear a TPW out of Gilman begin to work the Incobrasa Plant. I panicked and moved into Gilman to find that they were nowhere close to being ready to head east. Of course, as soon as I got back, CN sent a northbound. I tried to get back to Onarga, but I couldnt. Thankfully, I was able to outrace M335 to Danforth and grab it coming by the elevator and depot. |

TPW 3440 |
| Description: |
After M335 cleared, TPW was ready to head east across the diamond to go grab some cars in Crescent City. CN was having trouble lining them across, but eventually they were able to get the signal. I grabbed them coming by the approach trilight east of town. This one isnt as accesaable as the other one on the west side of town, but I had yet to get any shots of this one. |

To my surprise, an ex-CITIRAIL GEVO was the rear DPU. CN recently bought all the CREX leasers to add to their already massive GEVO fleet. Its good to see a majority of them are still in CITIRAIL paint though. |

With all stone hoppers in tow, I knew the local would be making a run for the quarry west of Kankakee. I had never gotten a chance to chase a train along the line, and with the main line quiet for now, why not? I grabbed the train crossing over a branch off the Minnie Creek west of Otto. |

After meeting Amtrak (and after the sun had set), CN A407 exists the siding south of Clifton with a pair of IC SD70s. The leader, unfortunately, being a repaint. But, at least it matched with the leaves well! I was pretty impressed with the color out here and the trains I ended up getting today! It was a good day trackside! |
