For those of us with the vantage point on top of the South Halsted Avenue overpass, the typical train movements below in Barr Yard took on a dramatic, albeit ficitional, locomotive race. First out was the GE unit #3100.
CSX 3100 pulls out strong with a definite lead. Its partner, CSX 7708, noses out as well.
CSX 851 bursts out of the box with an impressive display of power!
. . . or should that be pilot to pilot race?!?!?
CSX 851 definitely pulls ahead now while CSX 3100 starts slowing down.
