It's whimdy.
Initially I went out to grab CPKC 149, with a CPKC T4 leading, before work today, but I heard that there would be a bit of delay following a tree falling down on the line in front of an inbound Metra at Lake Forest which lead to Amtrak 334 going around the inbound before 149 could pass. Wind sure loves to cause confusion and delay. Enjoy!
Now here are the trains in order.
Train 1: SB Hiawatha
Power:
AMTK B32-8WH #514
IDTX SC-44 #4616
Train 2: Inbound Metra
Power:

METX SD70MACH #516 *ex-TFM 1662*
Train 3: NB Intermodal
Power:
CP ET44AC #7499 *CPKC Paint*
Mid-Train DPU:
CP ES44AC #8742
Taken on 3-13-26
