JCB4010
CN 5422 @ Kensington - Chicago, IL
Aside from the usual Canadian National and Illinois Central SD70s that live on Canadian National’s daily L5369124 job from Glenn Yard in downtown Chicago to Kirk Yard in Gary Indiana, this change of pace lashup consisting of an CN SD60 (CN 5442) that’s at the helm, along with an Illinois Central SD70 (IC 1017) and a CN SD40-2W (CN 5246) still in its original “Zebra” paint as the trailing units.
After getting light from RTC, the train charges southbound through one of the busiest junction’s in Chicagoland that is Kensington, a place that sees large amounts of passenger trains from Metra Electric, South Shore and Amtrak, as well as numerous freights from CN, South Shore and sometimes even NS. The train is seen here ducking under one of the handful remaining Illinois Central “bowling alley” signal bridges on the CN Chicago Sub, a frame that can only be done when they run Main 1, which is quite uncommon.
Taken: 3-9-24
