CSX 8554 leads a train across a residential street in Dolton, Illinois. I spent 26 April 2010 in Dolton with Sam Carlson watching trains. I don't think I've ever seen as many trains in the US as Sam and I did that day between the former C&WI north-south line, now owned by UP and CSX (inherited from the MoPac and L&N purchase of C&EI), and the IHB and B&OCT (CSX) lines. I think this train is on the connecting line from C&WI to B&OCT. www.dhke.com/CRJ/dolton.html has excellent information about Dolton, including a map of the junction.
