"Conrail Visits the Windy City..."
Author: aussiehinz

It's been a while since "Big Blue" came calling around here, but this morning I received a helpful tip that it was leading a UP to CSX "YPRCU" Transfer Job down the CSX Blue Island Sub. Here are some views as it made its way south from Kedzie to Forest Hill, along Chicago's west side.

Cheers,

aussiehinz


1. Crossing the Chicago Sanitary & Ship Canal at Ash Crossing

2. Meeting a CSX northbound at Brighton Park

3. About to cross 71st Street, a half mile north of the Forest Hill interlocking with NS and BRC.

Nice job, especially #3. The Conrail has finally come out of the southern Illinois coal fields. Hopefully it makes some runs back and forth on some of the former Conrail lines in Northern Indiana and Ohio for a while.

Nice shots, I really like the first two. It looks right at home with all the CSX power.

I was wondering where it had gone to after making it to Proviso, any sort of idea what its next move will be?

More than likely the locomotive will be sent east out of Barr Yd....

Was hoping the UP would bring it back to Ashland on a YPRPI, they screwed that one up for me
