Notice the 2 Wheeling engines in the background. As of this writing, the units are on Wheeling property.

Y125 pulls up to wait for a signal as Q161 heads toward Bedford Park.

Y125 is still waiting as Q368 rolls by.

Y125 made it around the corser and got another stop signal at 138th Street.

The ex-ICE leaser will be the leader when Y125 returns to Indiana later in the day.

HLCX ex-IC&E GP40-2 4215 leads Y125 east through Dolton.

Four hours later, Y125 smokes it up on his way back to East Chicago. The ex-ICE leaser has become a regular on this job.

Y125 arrives from East Chicago to begin our morning. We'll get a better look at the trailing unit later.

An unexpected leaser is fronting Y125.

A lone coal car sits with a trio of geeps as larger power sits idling; awaiting their next assignment.

With a solid block of auto racks for New Boston, CSXT 6070 leads D73919 south out of North Yard and across the diamond at Plymouth.

By Esther Fairchild. CSXT 6070 (still showing its former C&O initials) and three others bring a train westbound off the B&O "Old Main Line" by the beautiful Point of Rocks station and on toward Brunswick and Cumberland, Maryland in the Spring of 1987 (date approx). About this picture, Esther says: "In the little room at the front of the station (closest to the camera) there was a radio which the maintenance guys left on all the time, so if you stood by the window for a while you could hear different trains talking and get an idea of what trains might be coming. My main interest at the time was the old buildings in the area, not the trains, but pretty soon I got hooked on train-watching. That shadow on the brick platform isn't a UFO following me around; it's the shadow of a platform lamp - the long shape is the famous cast-iron Point of Rocks station sign." (thanks to contributor Jim Bruce for correcting us on the owner of the 6070)

This train is tied-down here today.

Looks like it's the B790 tied-down here.
