The Trunk I Remember
The Grand Trunk Western was known as the "Good Track" railroad, and the railroad proved it by the way they liked to run. Here's some proof. Train 437 screams through the busy city of Harvey, IL doing a good 50 per. GP9 4545 is leading just as the railroad gods intended, long hood forward, as the westbound is passing under the Illinois Central viaduct, and over the B&OCT's Chicago Heights sub. The Trunk never slowed down for congested city areas as other railroads would do. They flew through Griffith, Munster, Lansing, South Holland, Harvey, and Blue Island on their way to Elsdon yard in Chicago. This is a rescan of a shot I posted six years ago. I was on duty at Harvey tower, doing my job inspecting the train. Just happened to have my camera with me. Seems like that happened alot...
