Weds night, I happened to be in Chicago and hung out for a bit in the area of Tower B17. I was surprised to see a pretty lengthy CN manifest train EB / inbound to Bensenville yard. Is that a regular thing or is CN detouring due to MOW or something else? Any info would be appreciated.
The CN trains on the Metra Milwaukee District West Line are a common thing, but they are not a detour move. The CN and the CP are now doing their interchange traffic through the old Spaulding Yard out east of Elgin, IL. The symbol is G35.
