From the vault- A432 chase 2007
Author: bodkin6071

April 18, 2007 I was in Du Quoin, IL watching CN train A432 pick up three HLCX GP40 units. #4203, 4200 and 4201, an ex-Amtrak unit.

1. IC #2720, 1029, 6130 and the three HLCX units that were picked up.
2. HLCX #4203
3. HLCX #4200

7. After letting Amtrak #391 run around it, A432 is on the move. I started a chase of it from here to Anna, IL.
8. At Anna, IL. I stopped at Cobden to shoot a video of it over the hill, so no pix from there. The days when I only had ONE camera...
9. Helm units at Anna

Video of A432 at Cobden. Notice the unmistakable sound of a SD40-2 as #6130 goes by. It still lives on, on my HO scale layout.

Please forgive the sub-par quality, this was shot with my very first camera, a Kodak EasyShare Z760.

The 4200 and 4201 started out as Milwaukee Road units while the 4203 started as a New York Central unit.
