So I get to the vatican city to see CNW 8646, and right as I pull up the gates go down. UP stack train east. After that passed through I wanted to catch the CNW at the crossing with the really, really weird e-bell. So I pull up to the crossing with the stack train still crossing it, and right as the gates are about to go up, the CNW runs around the curve. So I back up with 100% accuracy into a parking spot off the road, get out, and start shooting. CNW 8646 and a UP 70M are the power for the lengthy local from Proviso to West Chicago.
