Conrail SW9 9131, Chgo Western Ave

We're still on duty at Western Ave tower, just a different day. We're going back out on the porch and point our camera in the opposite direction and what do we see? A Conrail SW9, the 9131, headed north on the Pennsy/CJ with a slightly unique train. Behind the EMD butt head is an odd assortment of slightly used passenger cars. I can make out a former GM&O coach and a full length dome, last used by AutoTrain, and there's a couple more that I can't make out. Behind the train you can see the Ryerson Steel plant. The train is seen here crossing the B&OCT.
