A sunny interlude this afternoon on the BNSF's Chicago Subdivision at "MH" Tower and environs. It's been a long time since an exotic head end consist such as that on today's NS to BNSF Train 33G has passed by my window here. Got me up off that couch!

Cheers,

Excellent shots!   That first one is one of those consists that makes you wonder what extended series of events led to the creation of such a consist, and for it to show up on a NS to BNSF run-thru train.

A great photo essay. I remember growing up back in Lockport and being around when the Prudential building was the tallest one in Chicago and look how it has grown up.
I hope soon to dig into the basement and start sorting out my slide collection and scanning what I have. I know somewhere in the abyss I have a slide carousel of Chicago slides from a show I did years ago.

That's a great first shot!  How often do you see power from railroads of three countries?

If they have the time, then it usually backs in. I've ridden Omaha to Chicago many times. Others can chime in with additional feedback.
