Thank you very much Larry for driving me to Franklin Park, it was well worth everything!
Train 1: CP's G45X passes CN's R994. SOO 4418
Train 2: CN's R994 takes off. CN 9427
Train 3: Inbound Metra
Train 4: IHB's NA2 runs Long Hood Forward with IHB 3861!
Train 5: METX 418 westbound
Train 6: SOO 4418 returns LHF into B-Ville. If you look carefully, you can see the CSX running the corner as the SOO leaves the scene.
Train 7: Only seconds behind the SOO, this CSX coal train with all SOO cars does lunar speed (15 MPH) into Bensenville Yard. Note, that there was a crew in the YN1 CSX SD40-2. Also note, there was one car in this train with MILW report markings, but I didn't put that in the video, because it isn't very clear.
Train 8: CP 8836 leads a Schiller Park intermodel transfer up the CN Waukesha Sub. Note the fouled out E-bell.
Train 9 and 10: The IHB returns lite to Norpaul Yard, meeting a CP transfer right infront of us! No horn though, but who cares! IHB MEETING ANYTHING HERE IS AN OMG MOMENT! lol didn't mean to brag.
