Western Railroad Discussion > Mystery Train on BNSF Chicago Sub PICS Added

Last night, a westbound train led by CSXT 5444 and 8823 passed through Clarendon Hills, IL at 7 pm on BNSF's Chicago Sub. It appeared to be a train of about 90 loaded LPG tank cars.
Some of the cars include:
TILX 307261
SHQX 51223
TILX 307329

What are the origin, destination and symbol for this train? I've seen a handful of these over the last year or so.

Thanks

Did all the tank cars have the number 1075 in the placard?

Yes, they did. But even more obvious were the words "LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM GAS" on each car. ;^)

BNSF gets these from CSX, but does CSX get these from Wheeling & Lake Erie? If so, where does the WE originate the trains?

If it helps, the train I saw had buffer cars with WE reporting marks.

CSXT 5444 and 8823 lead the westbound LPG train at Clarendon Hills.
