Completely random, we went to Elmhurst, and this guy was sitting in the siding. The crew members working this train were awesome! Right when we got to Elmhurst we got a fantastic horn show between Metras, and then we walked down to the rail grinder. It was referred to as "Morgan" on the scanner. They came out of the siding east with two F40PH-2M's, and went back west down the main grinding. I really wish we could have stayed to see it go west, but unfortunately time was not of the essence. Thanks to Alex for stopping the video while I ran back to get the car.
