This was sporadic.
What originally started out as me going to Lake Forest to try and intercept a CPKC ballast train with a pair of EMDs, quickly turned into a mad dash to Franklin Park after dispatch sent them in front of an inbound Metra at Rondout. So with some help from some friends, I managed to find out they would be going west via the Chicago Sub after a crew change at B17. So I managed to get them rolling through FP and passing B17 while meeting 253 in the process. Enjoy!
Now here are the trains in order.
