CP Canal Penetration
With only 30 seconds to spare and nearly getting screwed by outbound Metra BNSF traffic, I made it to CP Canal to shoot CSX K635 crossing the canals with three SD40 variants leading the way. We are in between the Sanitary and Ship Canal and the Des Plaines River in suburban southwest Chicago. The bridge in the background was built in 1963, replacing an older, former swing bridge that collapsed the same year.
