First off we are at Sterling, Ohio on the old Baltimore and Ohio Railroad mainline to that runs between Chicago and Newcastle, PA. Sterling was a junction with the line that ran down to Warwick and also at one time the Erie Lackawana. mainline crossed at grade and was controlled by a tower. First train we see is a ex C & O SD40 and two geeps and a long coal train. Then we at Barr Yard in Chicago where we see a freight leaving with 4 units bound for Ohio. Next up we are at 130th and Broadway in Blue Island, IL where we see a IHB transfer with some now retired SW1500 units for power. The we see BRC switchers with a caboose hop with a nice M3 horn. Next up we see a Barr yard bound CSXT train with a nice Leslie RS5TR horn and two old Seaboard System units and two old Chessie units. Then we see a Westbound Chicago and Northwestern train with two SD40's and a SD45 in the middle.
