Before a family affair I took some time out of the beautiful day to go Lemont. I didn't bring my camera because I didn't plan on doing any train spotting how ever I wish that I did. Driving down New Ave I saw the signal at CP Flag Stone change from a solid red board to a Clear for a southbound. I knew it had to be for freight since Amtrak passed passed about a half hour prior. After waiting it out I was rewarded with CSXT 5 leading the Union Pacific train I BPG4 (Intermodal from the Bedford Park CSX facility to Union Pacific's Global IV). This is the first time I've seen this train in daylight. I've always seen it through Lemont between 8:30 and 9:04 PM. Yes, 9:04 PM. I've seen it through Lemont at 9:04 PM more than once but I guess this is the new schedule having this train get through Lemont at around 3:30 PM. A side note sorry for the shakiness. I was more concerned with seeing the train for myself rather than for the video. With all that said, enjoy!
