http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=85751 Amtrak 84, Train #21, pulls into Joliet in the special Toyota Tundra paint scheme, with a red pick-up. On the back, it has “The Powerful Toyota Tundra”. It then headed to San Antonio, TX and then came back to Chicago on the Inbound Texas Eagle Train #22.

http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=76789 OK, Now this is rush hour in Chicago! 6 lines intersect making this a great place to railfan! Metra MP36 425 passes a new cab car and sister MP36 415. Meanwhile, on the overhead bridge, Metra F40PH-2 179 passes a new cab car.

http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=66543 Here is a shot of the “Bottle Train”, carrying molten steel going through Pine Junction on it’s way to the Steel Yard. A Conrail GP15-1 #1405 was leading the train, and an NS GP38-2 #5554 was pushing at the end of the train.

http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=85429 It’s that time of year again! The Rail Cruise America Special passes under the ATSF signal bridge at Joliet! The lash-up was SLCC #101 F9PH, SLCC #202 F7B, and SLCC #102, another F9PH. This sure was a special treat!

For Tatans: if you want steam, here is a webpage to check out:
hhtp://memory.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/rrhtml/rrhome.htm Check it out. I got it from a Dr. Richard Leonard, when I was inquiring about railroad locations from days of old.
