Single Stackin'
CN 2099 and 2562 lead a rerouted Q19991-29 down the ramp from 16th Street Tower, about to duck under 18th St and negotiate 21st St Crossing. Due to total replacement of the interlocking at Homewood, for several days all traffic normally routed via the former EJ&E to the south end of Markham Yard via Matteson could only access the north end, resulting in reroutes through the city. Northbound traffic used the ex-IC Chicago and Freeport Subdivisions to Munger to access the "J", and southbounds used the Waukesha Sub to the IHB connection at B-12, then the Eldson Sub from Blue Island to the Markham connection at Harvey. Due to clearance issues on the IC route through Chicago, intermodal traffic is not normally routed this way, thus, the rerouted trains could not operate with doublestacked containers, as is the norm on their regular route.
