Hometown Hotshot
While working in the garage at my parents' place, I heard "CPKC Tower B-17" talking to 181 about getting recrewed, and following Metra in from Elgin. With just about a 10 minute drive to the station, this gave me more than enough time to head on up and get the hottest train on the railroad in Hanover Park.
That being said, for being the hotshot Mexico City-Bensenville train that it is, they first got stuck behind Metra, and then had to wait for a 149 train to come out of the west end of Bensenville while at Wood Dale.
This particular edition of the train was led up by the KCS 4723 and another GE Belle. Recently, the train has been dragging a number of new CPKC Tier IV GE's up from the factory, but in this case, I had to settle for the 18 year-old GEVOs.
