CPKC #2816 Thru Chicago last night.

After 2816 completed an afternoon of display in downtown Franklin Park, IL, 2816 ran to A5 Tower in Chicago to turn around to face west for the next day of running west towards Davenport, IA.

That engine is super square!  Train is sparkling clean.  Good show.

Very nice videos.  The first one provides an excellent answer to the question of why passenger trains were known as "The Varnish" in their heyday.

Really nice! That sky in the first video really adds to the scene.
Mars and Galewood stations look better than I remember. I will have to check them out. I need to find a new spot for SD70MACH photos!

If you're looking for a good spot to see the SD70's, Franklin Park or any other station on that line is littered with SD70's on the commuter trains. I saw them multiple times while out to see 2816.
