Chicago Terminal RR's SW8, formerly for their Goose Island District sits alone in the yard next to Metra's UP lines |
Description: |
This cool unit faces an uncertain future after the last rail customer on Goose Island pulled out in 2015, and the city is apparently trying to force the railroad to abandon the track so the property can be redeveloped. |

Our Sunday outbound UP-NW train 713 merits a doubleheader |

Not sure if there was a failure or if the train was just that long! Unfortunately, my smartphone's camera resolution is not good enough to capture the unit numbers. The leader has been repainted into the newer Metra scheme that has been on the MP36PHs for several years. |

The Chemung branch (formerly known as the Chicago-Chemung Railroad) was once part of the C&NW's "KD Line" between Kenosha and Rockford, with a split at Caledonia that allowed passenger trains to/from Chicago to serve Beloit and then re-join the line to Madison and points northwest at Evansville. |

To my disappointment, DeLong didn't send out their SW7 switcher (ex-CM&N 202) to grab the empties at Oak Grove Road like they did when I chased this operation a year prior. Instead, the UP power took the empties all the way to the elevator at Chemung. |
