So this is the way to kick off winter break!
Train 1: Thanks to Taylorveldmen3832 for the heads up on GFDBRC!!! KCS 4019 and two NS units, one of which being an EMD Standard Cab (EMD SD60) cruise down the platform track in Lisle. This is my first time shooting KCS on the point!!!

Train 2: I went back and forth from the BNSF 3 times today. I went home after the KCS, then went back out to the tracks, this time to Belmont in Downers Grove. H NSINTW, with two NS Dash 9's, power a rather short manifest. Though I did not show the entire thing, it was over and done with in under a minute, doing this speed. Note the first two cars on this train, being flat beds with Military Hummers loaded on them.

Train 5: Inbound Metra.
