Intermodal is Back!
For the first time in 20 years, intermodal plies the rails of CP's Chicago Subdivision!
This is CP 183, a stack train originating in Lazaro Cardenas in Mexico to Bensenville, IL, testing transit times between the two endpoints in anticipation of a new intermodal lane opening as a result of the CPKC merger. The containers ended up taking seven days to get to Chicago from start to finish.
The train is seen here passing through Leaf River, IL, led by two KCSM locomotives, ES44AC 4888 in charge.
